Thanks for all the good points everyone. Deborah, I used to be impartial to the PETA until I read up a bit and realized, like you mentioned, just how many "rescued" animals are euthanized at their kill shelters. A couple weeks ago I got threats from PETA to confiscate my snake. Luckily, they are not allowed on my property without a warrant and I made that very clear. Unfortunately, their power is growing with millions of dollars in funding each year.
