Make captive/cultivated not automatically "no ID needed"

I am aware that some users deliberately avoid marking non-wild observations as such in order to get IDs; many are not reflagged and this degrades the RG database. “Casual” grade is inaccurate where a legitimate researcher may be studying anthropogenic consequences on the wildland; the term is mildly perjorative, implying an un-scientific effort; and it is also a personal judgment not a statement of fact: “Non-Wild” is an accurate term.

Feature request details: Substitute “non-wild” (and “Needs ID”) for “casual” where the only reason for casual grade is non-wild status. Require an affirmative click “wild/Non-wild” in app.

This issue is a trivial programing change. The lack of attention to itover several years has significantly degraded the “wild” listings IMHO and it should be an urgent priority to resettle the nomenclature.
