    Exclamation Unintentional or Intentional Mistake?

    I happened to find the linked PDF brochure (below) supporting HR669 on the website for the National Environmental Coalition on Invasive Species.

    If anyone still has ANY doubts that snakes such as Ball Pythons will be targeted by HR669, just take a look at the picture on page 2-3! An unintentional or intentional mistake? Either way this is dangerous!!!

    If we spread the word about this brochure in the Ball Python community it will whip-up those stragglers that have only 1 or 2 snakes and think that HR669 is 'no big deal'.

    Any good soldier will tell you that you have to know your enemy if you're going to fight successfully!

    I called the guy today. He got very defensive, but said that he'd have to look into it. He seemed rather irritated by my even calling him. Good. I also asked about the bill. He said I was very misinformed. I told him he was full of it, that he didn't even read the bill.

    I emailed the contact and made them aware of the error as well, took the opportunity to give him some "real" facts about ball pythons too.

    We want rid of the evil invasive species!!!!! (okay so we can't with all our experts even accurately identify a species but heck we want rid of them!!!!!)

    How bloody ridiculous is that! Thanks to those members that caught this and have notified the publishers of this that they mis-identified a ball python as a burmese python.
