Breeders will often claim to be preserving the species to jusity what they do. The evidence however points to the contrary, none of the animals bred can ever be released back into the wild. Instead of ensuring the survival of the species they are ensuring that there will be more of these animals not in the wild, but in basements and backyards, rescues and sanctuaries all over this country.
Lets try and keep these animals in their natural habitat where they will be happiest.
