I think we are actually pretty much in agreement, guys. Certainly, I do agree about the inadvisability of keeping dangerous wild animals as pets, but I'd be willing to make exceptions in certain individual cases (assuming I had any authority to). I'd judge any given case on its particular unique merits, in other words, rather than making blanket assumptions that allow no exception to a stated rule.

But in general, yes I agree with your point, kendall.

And I pretty much agree with yours too, gnu. Wild turtles are better off left in their natural habitat, as are other wild creatures...unless they're injured and you're nursing them back to health.

Now what about getting back to those poor, neglected woodchucks?
