Re: Herps you don't think should be kept as pets?

Well, it has a certain appeal, I agree...

But here's a few downsides to that approach:
  • whats the fun of keeping stuff if you always have to be discreet and you can't show it off?
  • let's face it, you'll eventually be caught (remember option #3 of last post)
  • if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem

I'll give you two examples of people I know...

Guy #1 has a mouth, personality and mindset like many here; does not believe the govt has any right to tell him what he can or cannot keep or catch. He's been busted a few times for possessing illegal herps. Now he's on our game warden's radar. He's a little wiser nowadays, but unfortunately, his past experience has hurt his chances for being able to work with the system with obtaining the licenses/permits to possess what he wants to keep.

Guy #2: fundamentally believes the same way, doesn't agree with a lot of our laws, but has been fortunate enough for many yrs to work with local govt and game service, so he is able to obtain said permits and possess species many are not able to, as well as have connections some do not have. He may not agree with the system...but he knows how to work with it.

Just more food for thought...
