Abstract
Widespread attention to the exotic animal question in lay, scientific, and administrative quarters has exposed basic conflicts. Trade in exotic animals requires regulation, but total bans are unjustified. Purposeful introductions of animals remain a viable management tool. New facets of the problem, including legislation, are discussed.Keywords
