I have been up a lot at night consummed with the thought of where these bills are taking the hobby we all love. Last night while not being able to sleep I thought of an idea and wanted to know what you guys thought of it. I have the video equipment and connections to make a full documentery on this whole mess, kind of a Michael Moore style " death of the big snake era". In no way am I saying we are going to lose this battle and I will fight every minute of everyday to win. I think this is something that if it does pass will be one of the biggest hits on the pet trade in my life. I've been keeping big snakes since I was fifteen. The problem is it's not cheap to do this to where Animal Planet or Discovery would want to pick this up. I would want to shoot in the everglades on Burmese hunts, talk with the FWC, travel to D.C. to get Senators on film, talk with all the major organizations on both sides of the battle including the hsus as well as visit the big snake breeders to see what it would do to them and their many employees lives. I'm talking a real film, maybe two versions. One being an hour long for the networks and another being 90 minutes or so for a DVD. If the unthinkable happens and we lose this fight maybe this would be enough to open the publics eyes to stop any future attacks? There would be no way to do this all in time to help this fight, so my question to you guys is: should I try to fund raise for this project or would it be better to put all our efferts into just the battle at hand?? I'm very torn over it, I just want the public to see what is really happening here. Let me know what you think and if you want to send me a private e-mail you can at bhb@comcast.net Thanks, Brian(BHB)
