I know some of you guys are all pro-export, but don't these numbers sound slightly high?

Benin+Ghana= 8,000 (!!!) wild-taken snakes. I think we can all assume the 110,000 farmed/ranched BPs are not getting the best of care, to put lightly.

If you all love these animals so much, why support a system like this?
