Great points! By no means would I ever consider this something we should take lightly. I agree that we have to unify and show the finacial effect on all aspects of the hobby. I would personally have to down size and lay off most of my employees, my rodent suplier would go out of business and his employeed would lose their jobs. The company that supplies him with rodent food would probably go out of business, the reptile specialty stores would go out of business and all employees would lose their jobs. You get my point, it would cost this country hundreds of millions of dollars by time the ripple effect was over. I truly believe that if we can show that we are not a small "niche" community, and that the numbers would be incredible on the economy, we will get through this. We also have to make sure that we are aware that future attacks might be on the way. Anyone that doesn't belong to PIJAC should join right away, it's the closest thing that we have to a lobby group and we need to support them so they supoort us. Again, us banning together makes us a stronger community. Brian(BHB)
