Becuase Im trying to preserve it. Im not prevent people from keeping them. Yes there are people like that who will go through with a risky investment. But who will have a couple million in spare cash so they can try?ldschmdit29;2735966; said:

Hmmmm... Seriously? Yes the law is there and since we live in a place were we are able to freely question and dispute within reason, so why not try to dig deeper? You know it is annoying when people say sarcastic things just to be argumentative... For the record I do think this law is bogus, like all have said and said before, If they are truly endangered to the brink of extinction then would not the native breeding countries themselves impose the ban for export? hmmm this is not the case now and they are selling them all around the world minus the good old US. I do believe the law when first created had validity, but times are ever changing and here and now there is not valid enough evidence to support that it is even having the desired effect anymore. Again we can question, so I am sure someone here knows the right people and has the right connections to get something rolling. They say there are 2 people on the moderator board who work for the federal gov? If this is true I am pretty sure they like fish and wouldn't mind helping out their fellow hobbyists to more "legally" enjoy their pastime. If not we can all do our part and talk to our local political reps, donate to cites, join petitions and so much more (Google it!). We are all in the same hobby and looking for information to expand it and our own knowledge, quit being difficult all you "nay sayer's", did not your mother's ever tell you if you do not have something nice to say to keep it to yourselves? We are all here on this site to HELP each other or get HELP, right? FREEDOM TO ASIAN AROS IN THE US!

SO tell me...who will give you the right information besides the Dept. of Ag? Nobody....you will just get answers youd like to hear of or h ave heard of already.....so what did you say in that paragraph that helped his question? Nothing. And who said anything about the Mods being feds? im sure there are that works for the federal gov...but who said its the same dept.? Did a Mod tell u that? Beblondie just stated that there are 2 on this board..meaning there are of at least 2 on this website. yes you may donate to CITES to help preserve the endangered species...it could possibly help the ESA and Lacey act to change its ways.. but when will this happen?
if you really want to find out the truth why ask here? best to go directly to the source...
You see there you go again just putting a damper on things. Everything you just wrote had nothing to do with anything I said... It is just like you didn't read a thing but just went off half cocked. I helped by putting in my constructive two cents. I do have a direct question for you, what are you trying to prove? You haven't thrown anything better on the table than hypothetical breeding plans of US black market fish dealers. oooh! Nice! Hey keep having fun blogging about how you know exactly how things really are...

naw id idnt say that i knew things... who said that? Nice assumption bro. I just clearly put an argument towards them. how do u know if there are 0 breeders in the USA? You think the money hungry exploiters will always risk themselves in such circumstances that they cant pull themselves out of after smuggling 50 asians? I know nothing besides the fact that it is illegal. in every forum has anyone given you a clear explanation on why it is still banned and banned since 1979?prove? Im proving nothing besides the fact that u will get CLEAR ANSWERS from the direct source. isnt that how things are? Does everyone know whats going on in every part of the world? No...neither do you..neither do i. the end.
If you took time to think about it with common sense, Im pretty sure it would come to you that I dont have 15 aros in 1 tank. I don't even think a backyard would work for 15 aros...ldschmdit29;2735990; said:
Well not like you have a clear exact answer with proof...The true explanation on why the ban is there could be anything. It could be as complicated as they're trying to prevserve it and they feel that this is neccessary or it could be as simple as becuase they feel like it. If you dont have anything good to say, dont say it right? What you said was a load of bull too, so whyd you say it? It didnt prove anything and its been said already...Continuing to argue really wont do much, its just a circle of opinions. I could be wrong, you could be wrong, everyone could be wrong. Like selki said, go get some answers from the source.Jmatz;2736221; said:You see there you go again just putting a damper on things.
