    Food for Thought

    http://ballpythonbreeder.com/2012/07...erpetoculture/

    I'm not trying to spark a huge political hate fest here or create an instantly polarized argument, but I found this blog post very good at getting some wheels turning in my head. Politics frustrates me to no end, and before I kept reptiles I pretty much stayed out of it. However, with the increasing amount of (ignorant) legislature popping up both federally and at the state level, I'm finding myself actively debating and educating friends/family/acquaintances/random strangers about exotics, H$U$, PETA, etc. It's personally important to me and given me an ability to scrutinize other issues and organizations I hadn't thought to even look at before.

    What are your thoughts? I'm struggling with trying to come up with a more specific set of questions, but I'm eager to hear some opinions on the whole matter and get a bigger picture. If the mods think this would be more suited to the quarantine area then please move this thread there. And if you're not in the states, what does the political state of reptile/exotic keeping look like there, and how do you feel about it/what are you doing about it?
