Isn't it funny how people want what they can't have, I think its about time we concentrated on our own endangered species, but alas the governments around Australia won't let private keepers have and care for a lot of these species, We did not bring in the feral animals to this country we do not clear and devastate the environment, we look after the animals that are in our care, we don't do this for profit we do it cause of the thrill we get in seeing a snake or lizard hatch from an egg, from parents we have raised from hatchings, sure reptiles are sold but usually so we can finance other projects, there is more experience in the private sector than there are in zoos as keepers may add up to hundreds where private keepers are in their thousands. If we have to save these endangered species, than the governments must look closely at the private sector as well as the major zoological institutions. Feral animals must be controlled at any cost and if people could keep more native animals then maybe they won't have a cat.
