Re: Ivestigative project
As this is a large part of my course, i am doing it on a global scale giving me more to write about, as i can list specific A/D for differnt locations around the world. And as much as i respect you not giving me the answear I do feel this is very mean, making me actually work for my diploma (hehe im joking).
(In brief)
Advantages
Use in the science world (regeneration, large cells, seethrough when born etc)
Axolotl will never become extinct, and the more bred will hopefully lead to more knowledge which can be used in wild conservation on the species
Axolotls are a good class pet, teaching responsibilities
Disadvantages
Breeding - Inbreeding, welfare conditions relateing too some breeders, lack of knowledge
Moral/ethical views of testing on animals
Fear of introducing alian/invasive spcies to local environments, also the fear of sub-species happening between axolotls and tiger salamanders (how ever unlikly and as of yet is only known of in labratories, the threat is still there -hope im correct in saying this)
Animal welfare suffering due to 'suprise gifts' and lack of knowledge, regarding to pet owners, suppilers and breeders.
These are what I can think of off the top of my head without looking at my notes. And thanks in advance to any discussion on these topics raised.
