GO ANDREW WYATT!! Tell HSUS to stick their money-grubbing practices in their you-know-what!! (in a politically correct way of course )

[mooingtricycle]

This means we have another day to call and make noise! CALL PEOPLE. DONT SLACK. It takes TEN minutes to call a few of those numbers! Just pick some and call!

I've been doing my part and plan to do more tomorrow. Let's jam their fax machines people!

I've also posted this info on several falconry websites. A lot of falconers are also avid herpers. But not to mention, if this bill passes, where will it end? First pythons. Then lizards. Then they go after falconry. Besides the fact that falconers tend to be the biggest conservationists around!

Keep it going people! It's really not a lot once you think about it. And aren't our animals worth it?

You bet!

Script:
My name is____. I oppose HR2811. It is overly simplistic and politically driven. It is poorly thought out and sacrifices good science for political expediency. The negative economic impact for my family and business would be significant. Please oppose HR2811. Thank you for your consideration.
