[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The point being that in some cases, capturing an endangered animal and placing it in a zoo [b]might[/b] actually be beneficial to the survival / reintroduction of the species at some point. I'm thinking about the California Condor. Wasn't the breeding program that saved them carried out entirely in captivity? In zoos? Maybe an American zoo (where poaching, IIRC, is not likely) is a better habitat for the Endangered... Hairy-footed Underhill... than a country in which it's likely to be poached. So the trade in LIVE animals, in any case, might not be so bad. The hunting, however, seems a tad counterproductive, but I don't know enough about the situations and precedents to make the sort of knee-jerk conclusions I see here. Remember, the people protesting this are the same people who told us that the oil drilling in Alaska (Not ANWR, the stuff that's been operating for decades now) would wipe out the Caribou population - which promptly tripled.
