BB,
The reason LE is being blasted is because of their own gigantic egos. They brought this all on themselves. I feel pretty safe in saying the MAJORITY of the people who were cited in the Ohio bust last June were breeders of color morphs of black rat snakes. Such busts were a load of crap that have nothing to do with conservation.
In addition, the requirement of PIT tagging reptiles with an oversize tag not recommended for reptiles by its manufacturer, Avid, is a load of crap as well.
The vast majority of the herp community has the same opinion as Ryan. Aspects of Ohio's rules have nothing to do with herp conservation and until they change, LE will continue being blasted.
