"A wild caught parrot in a home as pet, will continue to act as it does in the wild. This will eventually frusterate many owners who do not understand how much patience and work it takes to care for a bird. The parrots will soon be discarded, or abused out"
"THIS ACT IS DISGUSTING AND UNNECESSARY WE MUST MOVE FORWARD AND STOP ABUSING ANIMALS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT"
"I work in avian rescue of domestic, wild raptors - but personally have four parrots, three of whom were unwanted birds or from homes where they could no longer be kept. One, whom I've had for 18 years, has an old broken wing - she was wild-caught. PLEASE "
"I am an US citizen of Argentinean origin. I totally denounce the importation of wild-caught birds into the USA."
"We should not capture or import any birds into the US. Address, ZIP 8880 Bay Drive, Gainesville, GA 30506"
