Hi Sean:

>Whoever made up that self-serving tripe knows nothing about
>monkeys, CITES, the Biodiversity convention

CITES is an ill described, mostly uninforcable (because of people who don't
care), penalizing and proscribing document (for those that do) that lacks
common sense.

We need a convention like this, but we do not need CITES the way it stands.
It is a blockade to the distribution of rare species that are _already_ in
cultivation. And much more.

I formed my opinion on the the Biodiversity Convention, before there was
one, from reading E.O. Wilson's "Diversity of Life".

Kind Regards,

Rand
