I agree. I'm done contributing to it. The majority knows and understands the situation. Some people just like to argue for arguing sake. There is nothing that can be said that Tadpole isn't going to twist into something else to try and make himself sound more educated and right. I have more important things to do with my day. Thanks again to all that PM'd me showing their support and sharing with me the frustration of one bad apple that wants to ruin the experience for everyone. I'm done with this thread so take your shots Tadpole. I'm serving you up a nice fat pitch right down the middle that you can swing away at!!! Enjoy arguing with yourself!!

After reading this thread, and since I'm currently in training to be a Department of Fish and Game Warden I feel I should mention a thing or two.
The best way to deal with the illegal poaching of our native wildlife is what I believe Seth mentioned. Which is to make them a renewable resource like many fish and game departments have done with fish for the fishing hobby, though what they've done with that still isn't entirely flawless, it does however ensure the survival of the said species. Until then the best way to stop it is to stop the demand by not purchasing these poached animals. Jeff i know you said you were under the impression that they were C.B.(captive bred) which is understandable.
Though that leads me to another point I wanted to bring up. There's a big difference between captive bred and captive born. Being captive born is just as bad as wild caught, maybe even more so. According to most DFG departments the lawful thing to do would be to turn the poached animals in. Your doing the right thing Jeff by calling them. I thank and appreciate you for doing so.
