Re: US Starting To Open Bird Trade Again
Posted by damian on 7/04/04

I hate to say it tim ,but you speak with a whole lot of
ignorence.first of a great amount of species have been saved from
captive breeding (such as the edwards pheasant which are now extint
in the wild due to deforestation and over hunting) Should we give
up our breeding programs and lose more species?i like to see
imports to keep a diverse blood lines. some of the imports that
have stopped because of cites have to close of blood relations and
may soon be lost because of it.the only reason we have to deal with
it is because of people with ignorence of what is really
happening.May if you knew what was going on you may start feeling
bad about the lives you guys ruin my stealing peoples bird to free
them or the schools you burn for ignorence.sorry for being so blunt
but this issue has caused nothing but greif because you think every
one should have thier rights ripped from them
