Unfortunately, you're wasting your breath. This gentleman has been given a very rational argument as to how his actions could harm the entire community, yet he continues to believe that an accident would have no reprocussion on on our ability to work with these glorious animals. It's a shame too because he seems like a very personable person and I believe he has a true love for his animals.
I typically live by the mantra "live and let live", however public displays such as this are likely going to lend themselves to an outright ban in the not too distant future.
