OK I'll quit beating around the bush and put this in plain terms. Look around
and see all the exotic fish released by the state in the name of better
fishing or what ever. Literally hundreds of species have been moved to non
native water sheds even from other continents. Notice all the wide spread
damage caused by these releases. Now look at a pet shop and notice all the
hundreds (wishful thinking for most LFS) of different species of fish being
kept by hobbyists, breeding them, caring for them just like the family dog.
Notice very few aquarium related releases in the same time span and very
little damage caused by the few aquarium related releases. Now who needs to
be regulated a little bit closer?
