Are you ready for a legal fight?

I was saving for a 1.1 pair for my future breeding projects but if we don't stand now, there won't be any need for me to have future breeding projects. I'm donating that money (about $2,000) to USARK and will set aside a percentage from every check to donate to them as well. Hate that it came to this but as has been said previously, money talks and I'll put mine where my mouth is. Now, cue my theme music by Def Leopard, lmao! Hahahahahaha! :D

Donated $20. Really wish I could do more and donate more.

Well I said that I support USARK and I do er.. did, 50$

I am a Canadian, the constrictor rule does not effect me directly and the 4 (hell all 9) are illegal in my area already but none of that matters. I hope that I am not the only Canadian here who decides that our government might just look south on this and think it is a good idea.

I'm in, can't do much all at once, but $10-30 out of each paycheck gets us that much closer. After signing once petition I didn't see the point of signing more, concentrated efforts will serve us much better

Not to sound like the hater in the room but does anyone actually think that 150k is going to even scratch the surface on this proposed legal fight. The humane society will tie this thing up in court till there is no more money for usark to spend. I still would like to know exactly how usark saved retics and boas? What about all the individual states doing there own bans? Is usark going to fight those battles as well? Here in va they have just proposed to ban all pythons and boas excepts balls, gtp, and angolans. Is usark going to fight va? They cant. Theres not enough money nomatter how much you give. The humane society has people donate entire estates when they die, millions upon millions of dollars gets donated to them. Do you really think that 20 dollar donations will do anything? Seriouslly peoe need to get a grip on the situation and not act out of sheer fear and anger and look at it calmly. Petitions and protests and using the media will go alot further then trying to fight the humane society in a lawsuit. The humane society spearheaded this and will bankrupt usark.

I think one of the first things we will need is a counter to the USGS report, however. An actual peer-reviewed scientific paper that contradicts that report.[/QUOTE]

I found this counter-letter posted by some experts on another forum;
