Re: Will you be saying bye bye to your Ball Pythons?
Hi Jeff,
I was honestly not going to call. I have done it on all the other times and sent my fedex packet on HR 669, but frankly it just seems like an endless battle at this point. After watching your video however I decided to call in...And you know what, by the time I got to Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) on the list I was feeling really good about calling in. Thanks for making a video that totally inspired me to call in. It is not that I am lazy, it is that I am tired of the politics of trying to own and breed ball pythons. It is a hobby. Nothing more, nothing less.
Regards,
Bill

Re: Will you be saying bye bye to your Ball Pythons?
Was reading the small thread, which Jeff posted on KS and I just hate reading the rants that follow his post. I just don't understand why people complain about USArk. As if there was a big conspiracy behind them.
I just don't get it.
I'm sure these are the same people who do nothing to help stop fight these bills.

Yeah, being lazy is one thing, but knocking the only real organization standing up for us is another. Who else do we having standing up for us???
I feel personally if USArk wasn't there, this stuff would go into law without a fight.

It's so sad to see the amazing turnout for HR669 and the crummy turnouts that we're seeing and hearing about for these upcoming bills.
This is how these people will win!
They'll just keep going and going and going until they just wittle us down into submission.
CALL in people, be HEARD!! Send your faxes!
DO YOUR PART!
There is reason for the pathetic turnouts compared to HR669. We had more than a month before the bill was going to be heard and for this it hardly seems like hardly have a week to work and spread the word of this new bill. If we had known about this earlier, I think it would have made more of an impact.

I think some of it also had to do with 669 affecting a broader piece of the pet industry. The exotic fish, bird and mammal people may think this is a "python issue" and that they are safe, so they will sit this one out. I don't know what PetSmarts position is on this, but would they really care if they lost their BP's? I doubt it. They would just toss another Corn, King, or Gecko in the empty tank. But when their birds, fish, and guinea pigs are in jeopardy, along with the sales of the supplies to support them, that equals big financial loss, and that's when the corporate heat gets turned up...
