Wow David you tracked down the person? cool!!
In defense to Boonleng I wouldn't go up to a guy who I think is poaching and ask to see what he has inside the bag.
Then again, may I quote what you quoted David in a post:
"Ok, I won't give my comment on this but will just quote the law. The law states that "no plant or part of the plant is to be removed without a plant collection permit"."
Pitchers are part of the plant
However for us at least, the plant should live on and make new pitchers so it is not as bad as uprooting the plant or doing lots of cuttings.
I wonder how he preserves them.
