As for me Marcus....
I have no interest in visiting farms...particularly while I am on vacation! I will be kicking back on a boat sipping wine and making the occasional landfall to record some wildlife.
My only input came from the feedback from the IAD committee a few weeks back about the farms that are up and running now. They aren't willing to allow many of these Panamanian pums because they claim they weren't able to have an inspector visit the site. I can only assume that they are not meeting this resistance from the sites in Peru and that is why we will likely see those animals allowed at the next IAD.
Me...I am with you. I think its great we are getting the opportunity to work with these frogs. The only downside are the prices although this probably helps keep them from falling into inexperienced hands as often.
As long as they are healthy and not contributing to the demise of extremely threatened species then I sleep just fine at night.
I enjoy my frogs...but most of all I want to be able to go see them in the wild...not on a farm.
