The current ban is a joke. There hasn't been a wild population count done in the last 20+ years. A big reason the ban is still in effect is due to the fact that there's no agency responsible for performing actual population counts in the waters the asian aro ranges in.
Aro farmers, whether they wish to or not, currently have no avenue with which to return any farm-raised stock to the wild populations. The word is the "government" has asked them to do this. Considering there are several governments involved when dealing with all the areas the asian aro ranges in, not one of these "governments" has a department or agency tasked with the actual transferring of captive stock back to wild areas. The farmers cannot release the animals themselves since there would be no official census of the actual numbers being released nor any control of which areas those releases need to be in.
Until the governments, in the aro's ranges, take the lead on managing this species, all the rhetoric is nothing more than wasted effort.


LOL,

question: who did the last study?

Come to Malaysia year. This thread is about legalizing aros in the US. I like malaysia and asia in general. I just don't understand why you would post about this here. Why not start a "it's come to Malaysia year!" thread? In this thread it sounds like you're just trying to tout the fact that you can legally own an asian aro.
