Yeah, all us Ball python folks are selling the burm keepers out, that's why you see all these threads saying 'Please call and object to HR2811".

Apparently the massive effort of calling and faxing(which costs some of us money to do) doesn't matter, because we won't automatically bash USARK. If we can defeat the measure entirely, that would be the ideal. If we have to slide to banning importation of burms, that's better by FAR than a ban on all burms.

I'd prefer they leave all of them alone. Of all the giants, burmese are the best suited to be a pet, IMO. They seem more placid and tolerant than the others. I don't keep burms, or any giants, and I don't intend to. But I made all my calls and all that, to try to keep the legislation from passing.

I think a LOT of the people on here called too. I wouldn't call that "selling you out".

That said, I have not agreed with some of what USARK has done. When they got legislation done in carolina about regulating ROC there, I do not remember receiving any updates about "Here's what we're proposing", but only heard after the fact. I prefer to know what the organization I'm supporting is doing BEFORE they do it. Just saying.
