What we say on this forum has no effect on the real world. So keep that in mind. Trying to come to a "happy medium" amongst the visitors on this forum means absolutely nothing, nor is it even possible.

Individuals can easily collect or "harvest" wild snakes respectfully without having negative impact on wild populations. It is legal to do so in several states in the U.S.

However, the ethics or lack thereof behind collecting solely for profit is a different animal, and a display of human greed and selfishness at it's worst. No different that the round ups or skin trade.
