Sugar Gliders arn't 'sent' overseas. They were exported when our wilflife laws were basic or non existant. The only animals that are exported now are illegally smuggled. I do see you point though about the licencing aspect.
Well at least our government could get of their *** and at least talk to the US System of Licensing and Pets. Then tell them that this is a problem that we are not wanting and it should be rectified for the Animal's sake.
but i still think an animal like that should be on a permit because it is such a delicate animal that needs so much care not just anyone should be alowed to get them
it still makes a difference
there are alot of really young teens and that who can get there hands on them overthere and if they were made to get a permit before they get them it wouldnt happen as much
I don't see how a permit is going to change the way they are looked after or indeed who has access to keeping them as pets. Have you ever known a person to be denied an animal keepers lic of any sort here in Aus (I haven't). I also don't see how supplying a govt dept with your name address and a few bucks for a permit can make you a better keeper, you only have to look at some of the questions asked by novices on this site to realise that permits make no difference to who keeps an animal be it a reptile, amphibian or any other non traditional "pet".
It does minimize impulse buying
