    Don't you understand that for every animal that get sell in the pet store industry, there is a lot of them that die in the transport ?

    I do understand that it's a work and a way for some people in africa to put food on the table. But that's another problem and it's call globalisation of the market. The world need to find a new way so everyone can live nicely. It's like saying, we should keep the manufactures open in africa, asia etc... where kids works cause it's the only way the family will be able to put food on the table.

    The breeders are able to support the market (pet store etc...) with normals. At least in the BP sector. The problem is the suppliers to the pet store. The store have to deal with them and only them, and it's still cheaper to import millions of BP every year than buy from breeders. Also the fact that you have to deal with only one company (or person) to import, instead of a hundred of breeders.

    It's cost less to import than to buy from breeders. That's the only reason they still import.

    There is probably not much left morph still available in the wild. Not worth it IMO. But the probably that is only 1 is enough for people to buy them. It's like a lotery ticket, probability you win is low, but still a lot of people take it.
