As a fellow Australian I couldn't agree more. Look how much this country has
been stuffed up by importing crap. Also nothing is done about it when things
get out of hand unless there are significant economic threat. Look at the
amount of funding behind rabbit erradication compared to Cane Toad
erradication. (Also note here that I pity the poor disillusioned sould that
claims Cane Toads have had no effect on the environment....)

It all comes down to the dollar.

The sceme will never get off the ground to import reptiles and sterilise
them for pets. A similar thing has already been passed for hamsters and how
many of them do you see? None. You know why? Cause no one would pay $1500
for a male castrated hamster. If you want to get exotic animals in its just
not worth it.

Australians should be looking toward native animals as pets. Get rid of the
dogs and cats and ferrets and rabbits and guinea pigs (cavies) and rats and
mice and other crap that we have here already and start pushing native
replacements that the environment can handle if they escape... There is
plenty of great animals here already without importing more and most states
have a good range of natives you are allowed to keep as pets as long as they
have been captive bred. This is where the focus should be. Forget the
imports.

GO NATIVE INSTEAD!!!!!

Comments appreciated.
