The Paradox

There is some significance to your arguement but the "paradox" is not only are we as humans being entirely and unrelentingly invasive we are dispersing animals from there indigenous localities and relocating them to areas where they may profit and survive but also are destroying off other species. For example the bullfrog in the west has destroyed entire populations of aquatic snakes, frogs, and turtles by there voracious appetites and for you to condemn Trey for saving a few animals that he passes on the road in their natural and steadily declining habitat, that would be killed by the next car, is a little sanctimonious and hippocritical. In fact if you really wanted to help out these populations you would do the same thing he is doing by successfully breeding them and releasing them back into the wild. I have worked with him before and Trey and his family release more animals by far than they sell and they are not in it for the profit, in fact they are entirely "biologically and environmentally" founded, working to improve the species by actions and not by "casting stones" from their PC's.
