First, understand, I am not totally agreeing with Jobi, or at least the way he said it. but I do have some thoughts.



Do you know what happens to the first individuals, of course you do, Dean, we have talked about it. They are preserved. Well, now we are talking about arrogance, as someone made the decision that its better to stick them in a bottle, then place them in a breeders hands to learn more about them. There are many breeders of monitors,in this world, including in the countries of origin. Heck, whats wrong with placing a dozen in private hands to begin the breeding process. Your know, 2.2 placed in several facilities? I mean really, who cares if some go to the private world and some back to the universities, along with all the information. Wouldn't that be more useful for everyone, then being placed in a bottle, that only a very very few have access to? Remember, they are always be placed in the bottle after a period in captivity.



There are lots of approaches that could or should be taken, and on both sides. So Dean, is it better to preserve them? and publish to the whole world, where they are found and what they are doing? Consider, bulldozers and chainsaws and cows/sheep(hehehehehehe), do not care about names or appendix class. Just wait until your favorite Pilbarensis spot, gets bulldozed by a giant mining company, oh hey, that will indeed happen or one day, you will go there and there will be a Coles/K-mart there. Cheers FR
