On a blogtalk radio show about hr669 tonight

I was asked to go onto a blogtalk radio show that deals with politics tonight. They seem to have an okay following and the host seems generally concerned about the hr669 topic. I'll be on from about 8:00pm EST until about 9:00pm, we'd love to have the support of the reptile community and your calls to help us look as good as we can. Hope to see some of you over there tonight. Thanks, Brian(BHB)

Thanks for the heads up Brian! I'll definitely check it out!

Don't forget about this tonight, guys!

That's awesome!! Way to go!!

Anyone else notice the show isn't scheduled until 11 pm?

lol yup wth? timezone screw up maybe?

Could be. If the guy is in California, 8 pm his time would be 11 EST. I'm curious what Brian is thinking right now. :D

Says not till 10 for me :confused:

I just checked, thinking I'd missed it but hoping I could at least play a recording of it. It looks like it will start at 11pm Eastern.

On air now!

It's on right now!

I felt that the lacy act needed to be brought up.

Well the lacy act was scary enough. HR669 is the Lacy Act minus the need proof and study to ban animals.

You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's awesome to see everyone here so supportive of our effert to win this battle. The show went great and proof negative was an awesome host that let me ramble like mad. Never put me in front of a camera or a mike because you'll never shut me up.lol Thanks for getting some of those points in that I was not hitting. It's great to have you guys to keep me on track! I'll try to get a download of it tomorrow and stick it up here or on the www.nohr669.com site. I hope there will be lots more interviews like this over the next week. Maybe a little shorter and not so late??? I had no clue it was PST time they called to ask me on:) Thanks again everyone! Brian(BHB)

It was Melanie, but whatever. I was the girl from BP.Net. That was such an awesome show.

Great job, Brian!

I'm glad you mentioned how nearly all the harmful invasive species come in from foreign trade in ballast water, and in cargo. I think that is the single most important aspect of invasive species legislation, and I wrote my own letter that made that point the main topic. I also mentioned how feral domestic cats do more harm to native wild life than all other non-native species combined.

I'm also glad you touched on the extremist groups and their lobbies. I'd like to see a full list of these organizations made public so we can all be sure to stop donating the billions of dollars every year that they use to attack our pets, instead of using the money to save all the cute baby seals and the Labrador puppies with a single tear rolling down their cheeks, like their images imply. I think if more people knew about www.petakillsanimals.com, and about the true agendas of the rest of these psudo-animal-loving organizations, their funding would be in the hundreds instead of the billions, and groups like PIJAK would start to receive the funding they should be getting.

Thanks! I agree it's amazing how many people domate to these organizations in the name of whats "good" for animals and then their money goes to stop the pet trade. her's the major players on that list:
HSUS ( Humaine Society US)
PETA
Defenders of Wildlife
Sierra Club
World Wildlife Fund
National Audubon Society
National Wildlife Federation
Nature Conservancy
Big Cat Resque

Thes are on the front lines fighting everyday to stop the entire pet trade. Do some reasearch and you'll be shocked. Thanks again for all the support! Brian(BHB)

I wonder if Petco and Petsmart have gotten involved in fighting HR669? You would think they would be some of the forerunners in this and that they would have some power behind them.

I believe that some of their executives are on the Pijac board of directors.

Yes they are ... Ken Hall from PetSmart and Kevin Whelan from PetCo are both on the board of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC).

Both Ken and Kevin are Executives within their respective companies and are working every day at the National political level to stop HR 669.

HR 669 is truly being attacked on all fronts.

Hope this helps.

Thats awesome to hear, thanks. I just haven't seen anything at their stores or on their websites. I've been mailing letters and sending e-mails like crazy... hope we can make a difference!

I also want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the effort and hard work being done!!! I'm so impressed!! :gj::gj::gj:
