| Exporting:
To reduce the cruel smuggling of Australian animals – allow the export of captive bred animals. This will cut the trade of smuggled Australian animals.
Importing:
If feral populations of exotic reptiles or reptile diseases and parasites is an issue. Then federally assess the risk an animal poses to the country and allow the importation (With quarantine) of low risk animals.
As for Burmese Pythons in the Everglade – they are a threatened species that breeds slowly, easy to catch and remove or control. I do not see them as a treat to bio diversity as the Americans have suggested. |
