I am amazed that I haven't posted my codences to you bigguy, very remisse of me.

The lady releasing SA MDs down here is doing it with full co operation and knowleadge of the national parks (as part of operation bounceback). To do otherwise would be illeagal. She released 168 this year after first shed. Of course most will die but sheds have been found from last years releases ( MDs are extinct in that area). I don't know where the idea that she is releasing MDs at fogg dam came from.

INHO we should have regulated captive populations of mostl native species with controlled recrutment from the wild if required. Collection when the animal is/was common is prefered. This does three things, it maintains a spare population incase the worst should happen, it means we have a pool of people capable of maintaining the species and lastly, the pets serve as ambassadors between humans and the animal.
