I am sorry but if an antelope escaped from a zoo, the problem could be fixed shortly with the hiring of a hunter. It is not like we are asking for the importation of raccoons, which if released could probably become a problem like possums in NZ. Secondly, we are allowed to import reptiles and amphibians. As seen with Burmese pythons in Florida, Brown tree snakes in Guam, and the Coqui and Cane toads, these animals are more of a threat of unwanted colonization then say an Okapi. Where would such an animal hide on the streets of Sydney or Melbourne? People lets be honest, there are so many holes and flaws with Biosecurity that need to be mended, that we need to be involved so the end result will be favorable to zoos. As mentioned earlier, how about lobbying. There is absolutely no need for such slow process. If ARAZPA is having such a hard time with their taskload, then zoos should provide more funding for hiring more staff. Also with species like fire ants being brough in as again mentioned before, more and more invasions will be brought in by accident. As I have stated before, we must mitigate as much negative effects of our actions as poassible, but we should not be asked to halt progress as no other industry has been asked to do the same.
