I think alot of your points are valid and are ones Ive stated myself when having discussions of similar nature. <mostly about fish as I used to mod on a forum dedicated to fish keeping>.
The problem has never really been the animals, but people themselves. Whether due to pet trade, or the intentional introduction of new species for whatever reason some genius thought up at the time. -How- we go about correcting those mistakes is what needs to be looked into. Personally I dont think a ban on every exotic pet is the answer by any means especially not at this point, and the people attempting to put certain bills or regulations into place should at least have some insight into whatever world they are trying to moderate, rather than have an uneducated bias of OMG THIS HAS TO STOP!!.
