AH you had to bring PETA up, the worse group to happen to animals ever. Sorry had a bad run in with them in college. I was working with a buddy who had some finches that were on lone from the Equitor government i think they were Darwin finches. Now up in Davis in the winter it gets pretty cold. He was studying some behvioral and mating display study going on, so the birds where every very well cared for. Two weeks before the birds were to be sent back a PETA extremest let the birds go in the middle of winter. My buddy came back to find all 10 birds dead from hypothermia just outside the building door. Ya letting animals go in a place they are not native, briliant idea.

Sorry i will stop there, i really dislike PETA with a passion and i'm all for great animal welfare (notice i do not say rights... that can be a whole other tread really).

I have to agree with whats being said, there is alot of overbreeding typically of one kind and that impacts the whole game. Luckly this do go in fades, it wasn't long ago that baby chamelones were used to adoren ladies dress, and before that alligators were a classic pet. The big snake craze will pass, only question is what damage will be left.
