Ohio Governor Kasich to sign Emergency EO...

[YOSEF]

"YOSEF"

Think you need to read post #5 in this thread and maybe do some research on the agenda of the HSUS before believing the press on this..

We have dealt with these matters before. Like in Florida. All the lies surrounding the origins of the feral Burmese. The Boas that started popping up in other states like the carolinas which were found to have been purposely released by agenda members and then reported, only to further their agenda to get all these bans passed..

The lies that were spread saying the feral constrictors can migrate as far north as the Canadian border..

Mysterious deaths of responsible keepers..

The list goes on and on..

I DID read post # 5. I found it very sad to think this guy could have been a victim of a plot / scheme. I also think that our government cannot be trusted - nor do I believe that they act in " our best interest".

I am not an investigator, I wasn't there. I am just sick of people being careless / clueless with exotics ( or any animal ).....I am NOT picking on this guy. I am talking about morons keeping big snakes in fish tanks with clothes for lids or large pythons left roaming the house at all times.

Every time somebody acts carelessly with a python/boa/monitor, etc - we, the responsible herp keepers pay for it.

The media LOVES stories ( true or not ) of people doing stupid things with Reptiles. It adds fuel to the fire for those lawmakers wishing to squash the reptile community.

I love my python too much to have it taken away because of the careless / thoughtless actions of someone else.......and I love the dream of breeding her in the future.

I would HATE to have something that I love and have invested time and emotion in ripped from me. I think what happened was a tragedy. I hated seeing all those animals dead. I didn't like that this guy killed himself or heaven forbid was murdered for an agenda pushers sick pleasure.

The reptile community really needs to stick together on these issues.....if it goes over in Ohio, where I live, it's only a matter of time before it happens again and again.

Whether the sad incidents that have taken place were an attempt to push an agenda or not, I do not know. I have heard what the media says AND I read the very informative post #5. I wonder if we will ever really know what happened.

It is sad for sure.
