| itbites, lets be a little fair dinkum here.
it is completely duplicitous for person who supposedly cares for there animals and the environment etc, but then to be involved in trade of illegal species which could have tremendous negative impacts on Australian ecology.
It is also completely hypocritical of you to say that person A yeah he made a mistake but shouldnt be targeted, yet person B should be because he was involved in illegal activities. Illegal is illegal regardless of an individuals persona.
If a person is dealing in or believes that dealing in non-native species is the way to look after australian ecology etc, (regardless of if you are breeding them, importing, just dealing in them provides the demand) you are either dilluded, or simply misguided about the bigger picture.
I could go on and on but there is no point |
