agreed
my mom's an an ecologist with phd's in entomology and ecology, and I grew up wth that sort of sentiment. Of course, if you released a non native fish in the wild, she'd be out there with a fishign line and a frying pan

 

[viciousconvict]

mind you, she doesn't approve of the pet trade at all...

Still, they tend to live longer in captivity

On the topic of wildlife & endadered species:

Its never RIGHT to play with wildlife & especially endangered species.
Your purchase of any wildlife will cause these few consequences which maybe irreversible.

1.) Promotes illegal pouching of wild life.
2.) Effects its already scarce population.
3.) Deprive future reproduction.
4.) Deprive of food for other wild creatures.
5.) Deprive of our future generations to enjoy & see what we have seen.

Its a chain reaction & it will come back to haunt us one way or another.
IMO we humans are just too greedy & selfish & have no respect for wildlife & their well being. Just look at our humble sharks & their fins....

However, IF they are bred commercially or home breeding, I have not objections.

Illegal wildlife trade is still taking place till today right here under our noses, & the animals don’t get 1st class treatment either. Lock in the smallest of packaging, no food, no water, some times ever no air, they are shipped around the world, via AIR, SEA, RAIL, & ROAD.

It’s a real sad situation & it takes all to cooperate. I can go on & on but I think I should end here. Sure hope my message can inspire others to STOP the buying.

i would still like to have a gold aro. like someone else said paching will never really stop there's too much money on the black market.

it will never stop if species are not widely available and cheap.

it will never stop if species are not widely available and cheap.

Unfortunately I agree. Greed is more powerful than good (conservation). I am a republican, and I am ashamed to say it. But common sense should always overrule politics.
