Well... I've been pondering this for several years. The truth is I don't believe in the born free concept anymore. We need to protect and help them for our health too. I also think that the illegal pet trade could have been stopped years ago especially if the laws were inforced. Everyone cites loss of habitat for extinction and really in the wild a big part of them don't make it anyway. They are prey. At least there are many people dedicated to preservation of them, breeding, and education. If they want to pass more laws it should be for protection and help for the people trying to help them. Just saying.
