Absolutely.
In the three major countries they are found in, the people do eat them and export them. I am not saying I want to see the wild population disappear at all...but if the WILD population did get used up, I would rather it be from the fact that they fed people and kept the people alive than to know that they all went to pet-trade.
And I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used the word extinct, as I am not talking about the species as a whole...rather just the wild population.
