I don't disagree with that. Especially with using permit money towards land/habitat conservation. My contention wasn't that its in the best interest that NO animals be possessed. I was merely stating that folks possessing/collecting/selling animals under a guise of "captive bred" inevitably lead to distrust and difficulty in enforcing regulations. The end result being that it is easier to enforce NO POSSESSION laws than it is to regulate a legal captive bred trade. Ultimately, I'm for whatever best conserves the species. That said, money certainly has a way of bypassing these "best interests" when it comes time to build those strip malls. However, I would blame that on politicians not the wildlife officials. ...my 2 cents.
