Now that is a very valid point!
Really? I know you can return a live animal back to the wild, but I'm not so sure about a dead one?
Anyway, I realize the whole point of originally taking stuff and banging it in jars 50yrs ago, but seriously....with what we've got today, at our disposal you'd think we'd have advanced a little further.
I do however find it amusing when I see everyone getting a little hot under the collar about a young brown snake despatched on a TV series, yet seem to think it’s perfectly okay to knock something on the head because it looks a little different.
The trouble is, it’s far easier to bottle something real than fork out money for a MRI scanner, or the like, which would undoubtedly tell a researcher more about an animal than they’d ever need to know. We’ve supposedly got DNA testing (correct?) that can tell us a quinzillion things about an animal. We’ve got advanced digital, hi-def photography available…but alas, none of this seems to be at the fingertips of modern day researchers…Nope, just stick it in a jar and file it away in a museum. I don’t get it.
