"Life" on Discovery - Reptiles/Amphibians

Hi,

From my (limited ) understanding the HSUS is one of the main groups pushing for the python ban and lobbying as hard as they can to limit the animals you can keep.

The initial plan of the snake ban was for a disgustingly large amount of animals rather than the big 9 they are still trying to kill the trade in.

Since they do very little actual animal care the odds are the money you gave them was used to try and stop you keeping your snakes.

It's ok though - they don't want anyone having any pets at all so the snakes are only the first step.

Have a browse about the snake ban threads and you will see the full picture.

It isn't an easy thing to find out if you have been supporting them though.

Thanks for the info! It's not like I donate lots of money, since I'm usually pretty broke myself... I'd say no more than $200 in the last 10 years, so no harm done. I also donate solely to our local Humane Society, which (as far as they tell us) only goes directly back to THAT facility - a rather nice one in terms of their animal care. Anyway, it's good to know the whole story, and I'll definitely keep that in mind from now on.
