I have talked to many people today who own reptiles and they have the clouded misconception that just because the bill wasn't voted on today, that we're in the clear. We need to stress the fact that THIS IS NOT OVER!!!! On the contrary, this issue is far from over and it will keep rearing it's ugly head with every chance these manipulated political puppets can muster.
I also recently joined USARK and will do whatever it takes to ensure this bill goes where it's supposed to go, right in the bathrooms of the co-sponsors so they can use it for what it is REALLY meant for. I have even cancelled vacation time so that, should the need or opportunity arise, I will have time to take off to make the trip to Washington to defend my rights in person. They are NOT going to get away with this.
