Native Pets

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

Without wanting to open up this Pandora's box again the so called 
'conservation gains' are 'pie in the sky' and it really is only people 
wanting to make money in a novel way or to have an interesting pet in their 
high rise apartment.  In saying this I think that children should be allowed 
to grow up with the experience of watching tadpoles turn into frogs and 
having up close and personal interactions with reptiles.  But think about 
whether an Eastern Quoll could behave naturally in a domesticated state.
