I don’t understand people who are against caring for axies in captivity. They’re going to be gone soon they only live in one lake in Mexico that’s getting built over. At this point it is either total extinction or captivity that ship has sailed. They’re also a really good teaching moment about conservation. When people see my axies I’ll usually tell them about the situation they’re in and people look so hurt that we’d ruin their habitat like that. Most extinct animals you only hear about. These little critters are common enough you can show them to people and really get the point across what we’ve lost
