Your thinking is right on Derek. However, one thing to keep in mind is the money backing these animal rights groups and what that means to the elected officials in office. Do you honestly think if the reptile community could afford to sink 10 or 20 million dollars into an organized plitical party that we would be facing the same issues we're facing now? it's amazing how blind politicians can be when the amount of money padding their cellulitis increases.
One way to find out exactly what legislation might be coming down the pike os for us as reptile owners to join these groups covertly and find out firsthand so we can plan ahead and not get caught with our guard down.
