Yes I do think its better to releases captive bred animals into the wild than to take wild animals and sell them. I don't know that they are captive bred and I don't know that they are wild caught but it says in the artical POACHING. To my knowledge you can poach a captive bred animal animal. I know of programs in south Jersey that hatches dozens of Diamond Back Terrapins and lets school kids raise them. Once they are a certian size they RELEASE THEM to try and make up for the hundreds of road kills every year.
