Posted by: rearfang at Fri Dec 19 14:06:47 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by rearfang ] Actually fewer higher priced animals has a detrimental effect on wild populations as it encourages local collection by those who don't want to pay higher prices or want to profit off the increased value (case in point; Indigos).....If I had a nickle for every w/c snake I have seen that was offered as captive born.... The one issue that is being skirted here is that in some of these animals native lands the people make a living off catching and selling them. If they don't sell them then the people just kill them for food. In other places they are just being wiped out to make room for condos or for farming etc....This is not an easy problem to solve..... | ||
