It Can Be A Scarey World Kids....
I Have No Idea About Most States, But Here In Florida They Would Put You Under The Jail If They Ever Found Out, And That Was Before The Great Snake Round Up! Now They're Even More Dead Set On It. Also Most Folks Just Dont Realize, Releasing Birds Comes Under The Auspicies Of Fish And Game(dnr, Fish And Wildlife, Whatever It Is In Your State) As Well As Federal Fish And Wildlife In Many Cases...
The Punishments In These Cases, As Prosecuted By These Agencies Tend To Have A Way Uglier Penalty Involved Then Say... Selling Crack, Or Rape, Or Murder ( I Have No Idea Why, But It's Always Been That Way...)
It Is A Sad Fact That There Seems To Be A Great Lack Of Knowledge About Laws On This Activity.... And Ignorance Of The Law Is No Excuse If Prosecuted. I See So Many Posts On Here Questioning "do I Need A Permit?" Or "can I Turn These Loose?" Etc... And Most Of Us On Here Use The Site Frequently And Should Know To Check Before You Buy. It Seems More Widespread In The General Public.
Many Folks Like The 1 That Contacted You Mean Well--- They Think "its A Quail, They Occur In The Wild Every Day, They're Cute And I Could Hatch Them And When It Gets Bigger I Can Just Let Them Go And It Will Help Nature Out While I Get The Satisfaction Of Raising It" I Guess In Our Well Meaning Nature It Can Also Lead To Unknowing Destruction Of An Ecological System. This Person Probably Doesnt Know The Difference Between Coturnix, Bob White And Mountain Quail--- The Just Have No Clue, All That Caught Their Eye Was "quail Eggs"
