!!!!wild caught!!!!

[bulionz]

Hey, I'm just wondering why you can't catch and keep reptiles, yet you can catch other wild things like birds and some other wildlife.I know it's against the law to but whats the difference between other animals and reptiles?

 

[Dipcdame]

because wild is just that, used to having the freedom to move around............................it's grossly unfair to catch something and deprive it of it's liberty. I don't think I nor most people would appreciate the same being done to them, so why should we expect animals to tolerate it?
Why not just get an animal form a breeder or supplier, knowing you have some sort of guarantee that it's healthy and disease free?
I couldn't knowingly take something from the wild and be happy knowing it's missing it's freedom.

I don't think ypu'll find to many native animals that you can just catch and keep, if any unless you have a special permit

dont believe there should be any permits given for the taking of wild animals. just because someone has the money to buy a permit so they can then make more money legally taking wild animals and selling them. flame me now, if its good for one to take wild animals its good for all to take them

why take something from the wild if you can buy it, people are just cheap, take 1 or 2, nothing wrong with that if its common in the wild and not available at all, but taking heaps or taking stuff you can buy and taking rare species or uncommon species is just wrong. . thats my opinion.

 

[ryanharvey1993]

might add, "cought" is actually spelt "caught"

I would imagine that a permit would be pretty hard to obtain. Surely you would need good reason. Perhaps if something is endangered, you may be able to get a permit to take a couple to try and breed them in captivity to help there numbers out. Even then you would probably have to prove that you have the knowledge and know how to breed them!!!!
Im pretty sure they wouldnt issue permits for people to take animals from the wild for resale. Thats my guess anyway.

I know in the hunting circles, ALL native animals are off limits, and so they should be, unless you have a permit. Most introduced animals are regarded as vermin and predate on our natives, and need to be removed/killed which is why you dont need a permit for them, like fox's, wild cats, rabbits (which destroy habitat), wild dogs etc...etc...

all native wildlife is protected,you cant keep or catch any without the correct permiits or licence, except for spiders,stick insects etc.

 

[Jungletrans]

You cannot take any native Fauna or Flora out of the bush without a permit . No Mammals , Reptiles , Birds , Plants of any native variety , not even firewood without a permit .

I know people that catch fish, is that bad?
Also i know that you are allowed to catch insects

 

[Snowman]

You can get a "takers license" in WA that lets you catch reptile that are on the keepers list......

 

[Serpentes]

Bulionz,
Some people are allowed to catch and sell galahs, corellas and sulphur-crested cockatoos. This is restricted to areas where vast numbers are culled annually to mitigate damage to agriculture.

There are very few native bird species allowed to be taken frokm the wild. The laws differ from state to state, but the main thing is that without special collection permits you can't take anything.

 

[bulionz]

ok thanks

Why would you take from the wild when you can buy captive bred which do better in captivity and dont upset the ecological balance.

because some people are greedy knobs and are only in it for the money. catching is easier and quicker then breeding.

 

[mpeel]

Would extending the gene pool be a reason people would take from the wild.............
Also just a bit off the topic i was told not shore if its true or not that majority of albino olive pythons in captivity are inbred.......... true or not????

 

[ryanharvey1993]

dont need more "gene pools" and all that bloodline crap, make do with what we have got, dont need more, if we do, to bad, to late now, everyone has taken enough, so stop poaching.
