[QUOTE="Martin Oosthuysen, post: 23977, member: 1070"] Thank you for your reply on this topic,so to summarize your view may I say the following ? - conservation is a must - illegal import or export impacts the biodiversity - captive alien species are being released due to incompetence of hobbyists - also bringing in possible diseases Now I have to ask, when it comes to endangered animals all over the world. Can't we as a hobby assist by reintroducing specimens,obtaining a license to breed say exclusively for the pet trade or reintroduction purposes ? Sorry that I'm asking so many questions,but as a discussion I'm looking at all sides. Let me add, this is not just for South Africa its in general all over the world. Its nice to see how people perceive things differently, hope to see more views. [/QUOTE]
