OK lets get off it and perhaps conclude and agree that the following 
is true:

NABA's position on Collectors and Pinners:

* Discourage the interest in collecting insects. 

* Use this advocacy of no collecting to obtain state restrictions on
the activities of those who do not share the same view.

NABA's postion on Breeders and Releasers:

http://www.naba.org/qanda.html
http://www.naba.org/action.html
    
*"Releasing commercially-raised butterflies into the environment is 
an act of anti-environmental terror"

*"Please let the USDA and the Dept. of the Interior know that you 
object to the  interstate shipment of commercially-raised
butterflies intended for release into the environment.
Here are some of the reasons you can provide to them why these
shipments and releases should not be provided:"
