I hope not for our sake, but the point is that is what has got us here. Jack does not understand our hobby anymore then we understand how to run a zoo. He is concerned for the animals and our hobby. He supports our hobby as stated in this interview. For anyone that has done an interview you'd know that sometimes things sound different then what you want them too. He was asked to go on Fox for an interview about the everglades and they hit him with those questions. He was unprepared and unaware of the ambush style reporting. If you want to keep going back to that instead of appreciating him taking time our of his busy schedule to let us reptile people know that he is behind us, then I guess you can choose to so that. I for one will take any and all support and from a big name like Jack Hanna it can only help our fight. Thanks, Brian(BHB)
Brian im not sure where you got that I didnt think there was a problem in the everglades. Sure there are burmese pythons in the everglades im sure there are boas, reticulated pythons, anacondas, and many other exotics in there to. I however do not believe there are 100,000 of them in there. I do agree that florida has a problem but florida has also addressed the problem and is dealing with the problem. It needs to be state addressed not federal. I do thank jack for taking the time out of his schedule to do an interview with you but the damage is done with the interview he did with fox. Millions have seen that. Not everyone is going to here this interview. If he is behind the reptile hobby he needs to go public with his statements. Id love for him to go back with fox and do another interview if hes for the reptile hobby. I wasnt trying to argue or anything I just dont agree with jack.
