I went there in December 2009 and ask for advise to get a legal way of breeding and exporting the albinos. In September last year, they pitched up and gave me a deadline for the 3rd of December 2010. I told them my circumstances and that I have to rely on to many people, so I won't manage to submit the application until deadline.
I asked them to give me a limited export permit for 100 or 200 albinos. i told them, there is no difference between culling them or sending them to Florida. The following day, the albinos would be gone, either way.
A clear no, and I was advised what to submit, was their answer.
