theres only one deciding question, are they breeding in captivity. there just needs to be a fair agreement, for each new pet, one animal is released to the wild. better a couple is released to the wild. i guess it could work.

Yeh #12 .. try pushing that law in the third world countries where the animals live.. As soon as a poacher learns that there is a demand for these animals in the West, they will be hunted like rats
And btw, lori's don't breed well in captivity as they are nocturnal creatures with rather peculiar lifestyles

If the west or anywhere else for that matter starts "hunting" them as pets they might actually survived, only wild animals get hunts to extinction.
The mere act of adopting a specie as a pet or as regular food source will put it into domestication which in turn taking it off the extinction list.
You don't see cats, dogs, cows, sheeps, horse or pigs being endanger of going extinct.

This animal is in a defensive position and is not enjoying this 'tickling'. It secretes venom from its underarms which it combines with its saliva to deliver in a bite. This particular animal also had its teeth clipped to prevent biting. These are wild animals and not pets.
