RED ALERT: Stop Federal Python BAN!

[RideRed12]

Skip,

I have to apologize for the comment I left. I didn't realize you had these posts up about Rhode Island and Virginia. I just thought you were slamming everyone with negativity. I didn't see it as constructive criticism, I do now.

This is all stressful on everyone, tensions are high. Still not an excuse.
Thanks for the advice, I'll get e-mails sent out to Virginia and Rhode Island by Sunday. Thanks for you help.

Another thing we need to do, is to be responsible herp keepers, and not end up doing something stupid and end up another statistic and ammo for groups like HSUS. Encourage other keepers to be responsible.
Join a local reptile club, help and work with them on local issues.

We need to be a united responsible front, right now there are so many irresponsible and stupid keepers, they are doing all the work for HSUS, all HSUS has to do is point and say "Here is a perfect example of why...."

However, both USARK and PIJAC are fighting, so the easiest thing to do is to donate to one or both groups..

I don't have much money, but I'll see if I can scrape aside $20 for a donation. It's not much, but it's something, and hopefully it'll help. I'll also send emails or letters to the people on your list. Thank you tons for it--I'm not the best at digging for state legislature stuff and contact info.
However, ask me to research any medical condition and I can do that. For some reason, finding people to contact is not my forte at all.
Appreciated <3

Don't know if this has been posted, but kingsnake.com says that they ban is likely to be passed next week. It will include burms and african rock pythons. Now is the last chance to fight this bill!

Tap out! Say uncle!


Oh, and thanks for posting a bunch of helpful information throughout this thread.

[zeion97]

I give up.

lol..I'm sorry Skip, that made me laugh. For every person that is told it isn't a law, there are 10 more that don't know it isn't... People should know by now it isn't though.. We must have a lot of Hermit's within the community..

Needless to say.. We have a fight either way..For the states and the Lacey act.
