    Re: An Idea to Let FWS Know How We Really Feel.

    My locally herp society is starting up a public awareness campaign. We are meeting next Wednesday to discuss what we are going to do but our president has an idea.

    First up we are meeting in a semi public place (Barnes and Noble) for our first meeting to discuss this. We are going to to make up fliers to hang around town. From there we are going to host a large general public meeting.

    Our plan of attack is going to be to expose PETA and HSUS for what they truly are, anti-pet organization with the ideal of ending all pet ownership. We are also going to expose how donating to them doesn't really do much to stop animal cruelty or help local shelters/any shelter.

    We know we aren't going to get most of the population angry about a snake ban but if we can make them see how unjust it is and how the organization back it are really after their pets as well we might be able to rally more support.

    Ben Siegel also recently started up an intermediary adoption agency to help re-home the burms that are going to be displaced because of this ban. http://www.savetheburms.org/
