Do you have any evidence of the existance of the "collectors-are-murderers"
crowd?
 
I have been on this group for many years and I have never seen any real
evidence of their existance.
 
I ask this because I am conservationist not an animal rights activist.
There is a difference and I don't support the banning of collecting.
I do think that some very rare species should not be collected though.
