Of course not! Conservation of habitat is the only effective method of species conservation of the kind of wildlife you are talking about. Anything else is a scam! John.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Dear all, Commercial breeding of Wildlife species means what? For what purpose it is. We PFA HARYANA <www.pfaharyana.in> peoples strongly oppose any kind of commercial act related to Wildlife, No need to create any demand in the market or please do not promote any commercial act/ market for Wildlife. Here in India there are so many breeding centres for Japanees / Australians quails & ginni fowls ( like chakor) & these birds are used as a food like chickens. Few sick minded people killed rare species of wildlife which seems to be like above said species. Kurukshetra in Haryana , there is a Crocodile Breeding Park with big zero results. Please have a look <www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/143608977> regards, Naresh Kadyan, Chairman, PFA HARYANA, Convenor - IPFA On 6/6/07, AZAM SIDDIQUI <azam24x7 wrote: > > NO > > On 6/6/07, yitzeling <yitzeling <yitzeling%40gmail.com>> wrote: > > > > Can anyone with knowledge on this comment as to whether commercial > > breeding is the right thing to do and whether it should be allowed? > > > > A grateful thanks! > > > > Yitze > > > > Friday June 1, 2007-The Star > > > > Commercial breeding of wildlife set to take off > > > > KUCHING: Commercial breeding of nine species of wildlife is ready to > > take off, said Wildlife and National Parks Department veterinary > > officer Dr Zainal Zahari Zainuddin. > > > > The nine species include porcupine, barking deer, pangolin and mouse > deer. > > > > " We are increasing the number of wild animals in 12 conservation > > centres.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Thank you one and all for those important answers to my question. This will help me to counter the Wildlife Department's move in setting up this project. Thank you and good wishes! Yitze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
