Maybe we could get involved through a letter writing campaign to the Ministry."

She doubted the professor would just give up her pet like that, but if she happened to ever want to, Anna wouldn't object to becoming the new owner. "Oh, you know what? I've heard that muggles have people called game wardens, who patrol the woods to make sure no one is harming the animals. Maybe we could magical game wardens to patrols our forests?" she suggested.
"Would you like to join Anna and myself?' Agie asked, with a sly smile. "That's a great idea. Not only the people who harm the creatures are at fault, by selling or buying them you are also encouraging more people to harm more creatures." She added.
Agie grinned at Anna. "Well, he'd be great seeker practice." Agie laughed. "But I doubt it. Professor Morgan is way too protective of him."
Hmmm, security. "What about a magical security field that can pick up danger. Maybe by elevated heart rates? Or by sensing fear." She shrugged. "I doubt that is possible tho."
