I understand you not wanting to give up your tort... I personally think that I would want to somehow contribute in helping to keep the species from becoming extint. It's a great legacy!

What is my (or all keepers of endangereds) ethical responsibility here? Can I keep my tort out of the reproductive game and still claim to be concerned about the fate of the species? He has, in his DNA, a bit more genetic diversity to offer. If we don't do so, then as far as species survival is concerned, isn't he already dead?
