Re: OMG! Look what the opposition is doing!
What a stupid page. All I know is that Gillibrand is all for that ban(US Senator for NY) I got a letter back from her in the mail saying that she pretty much hates snakes and anything that has to do with them. Oh well for her vote.

Those are great pictures. I like them all. The last one seems to make the most sense for this cause. If you dont mind I'll use that one. It looks like something that would grab peoples attention :)

Re: OMG! Look what the opposition is doing!
purple python.....I don't think I agree at all with anything you are saying on this thread. There are plenty of bad "pet" owners out there. Does that mean that we should ban all the fish, dogs, cats and etc. Because there are far more poor pet keepers in that area than in the snake arena. And if you want to go with the route that these big snakes are dangerous...what about feral cats.....they do much more damage than some of these snakes and are out there due to poor husbandry issues with owners. :colbert:

Before you start to argue with me why dont you read what I actually said?
I never said that the snakes are dangerous.
Re: OMG! Look what the opposition is doing!
That article is obviously propgander created by people whom are afraid of, dislike, and have no knowledge of snakes. The masses may be listening to this type of articles and the vast majority are just as ignorant about snakes.
I was watching an episode of "cops" this evening and the cops were called for a Burmese that was found on someones front lawn in Las vegas. The snake most likely was an escaped or released pet as he was really calm when the cop took hold of him to try & get him into a cage.The cop who had little to no knowlege about the snake was saying things like "a child may have been killed a dog a cat etc etc" painting the snake to be dangerous. Neighbors also were saying they also captured large snakes recently. So 2 things bad are happening here on primetime TV. The masses are getting uninformed information painting snakes in a negative light. Pet owners are either irresponsible by letting them go or escsape giving the puplic the oportunity to exploit snakes in a negative light because the vast majority are uneducated about these animals.
The politicians who are going to vote on this bill need to be educated by the leaders and top experts. You then may have then have a good shot of having this bill modified or vetoed. Good luck:salute:
