Alright. not sure if this is the right place or not.
Ive been thinking about something for awhile now and id like to know what everyone thinks. So why do they not let people buy endangered species (reptiles)? They really should.
For example the Tuatara from New Zealand. I know they have different government groups working on breeding project to repopulate; but why dont they let the public have access? They could easily permit it out. The same as they did with the American Alligator. They gave permits to anyone who had enough land and wanted to have them breed them. All that was required was that they release a certain percent back into the wild. They were once Endangered and now its populations are higher than ever.
Theres a lot of other species that could benefit from this and it would help government save and make some money. Most importantly help boost wild population of brink of extinct animals.
This is just my .02 but what do ya think?
