I am finding it very interesting with the Ban on pythons being voted on and such that Animal Planet is running a Animal Cops - extreme exotics episode. The first part had to do with a pair of horribly kept baby alligators. We as animal owners and keepers are really going to be up against it! It is solidifying my need to join USARK. Don't get me wrong , people who abuse or incorrectly keep an animal should be flogged. Ignorance is not an excuse given sites like BP.net, russian Tortoise.org, ect.. Yes there are incorrect sites out there but for the most part there is A LOT of decent info out there. And we as keepers need to educate as well! I don't mean to rant, I am just tired and this is all just slapping me in the face as to how intertwined the HSUS, ASPCA, and PETA really are and how their agendas dove tail.
