[QUOTE="entomology, post: 23988, member: 517"] Captive species of any source now cannot just be released as an environmental impact assessment needs to be done also rehabilitation depending on different species as their behavior is different and dnt fear "man". I don't condone to breeding local captive species to " flood "the overseas market as it will only demand a greater supply causing poaching on a larger scale due to the fact they are native to our country. I'm gonna give you another example : let's say u release an exotic species with the market flooded and there is no money or revenue for that species what people then do is just release into a foreign habitat not suitable for them, but because tarantulas have the ability to adapt fast it can have a massive impact. All over the world you will get exotics and all what needs to be done is numbers to be watched and monitored that's what it boils down too so we can have the " full" picture of who has what. Yes hybrids are also a concern if released into the " wild" as they are not studied and are not supposed to exist , but because if "mans" ignorance and stupidity these things happen and conservation have to deal with the issue at the end if the day.
