    Well, it was harmless, they mentioned it couldn't survive outside, and no one was hurt, so it's not the worst press ever. Accidents happen, and animals escape. The snake is being well treated, which is good.

    just another note dont let these idiots write you off.
    as part of being on the committee your not wasting their time. i have had this problem before.

    these politicians join these and attempt to write off anyone who isnt in their home state. if you come across someone that does this contact the chairperson of the board and the leader of their branch be it senate or the house.

    i called earlier to day and while i was giving my info and every thing befor i hung up the phone i ask the rep what they think of this ban on large snake and boas ,,, He told me that its none of my business, and i shouldnt worry about it, i keep my cool and respectably told him what i had thought and what it would do to me and my family,, he told me sorry there is nothing i can do about it and hung up the phone,,,,,i really dont think these people really care at all, i think that they are doing this just to get there reputation up and get payed more, they really dont care about what happens to the people and there familys, i just pray that at least one of them have a little bit of concern for the herp familys and careers ,,, and notice that these animals are not all that bad and that there are other ways to help the glades...

    thats just my OP, and my experience with these reps that dont give a damn,,,

    Re: ALERT: S373 Senate Call In Tomorrow (email from USARK)

    These bills are ridiculous, in my opinion, and I don't even live in the United States (so far as I know, I haven't heard of any recent bills up here... O_O). Would it make an even larger statement if Canadians started calling those numbers? I can't even imagine how upset I would feel for all the BP lovers, like myself, if these bills passed.

    So I want to help any way I can.

    Man, this sucks! And I worry for a friend of mine. He owns at least a couple things on that list, like the Nile Monitors for example.
