The entire situation is ridiculous for 2013. when these stupid laws were introduced, few species were threatened to the extent they are today by traffic, habitat destruction, Cane Toads etc, so the status quo was maintained by a "leave them where they are" mentality - maybe suitable then, but not now. In 2013, even if the habitat of a "protected" species is threatened with imminent destruction and it is the last stronghold of that species in the wild, keepers/breeders cannot go in and collect examples for captive breeding because they are "protected."
It's far easier for bureaucrats to let these things go extinct than change legislation which is 30 years out of date. Very sad...
