More large predators are needed, to weed out the slow, sick, and stupid. I say bring back velociraptors. And start breeding them for color morphs.

I totally agree with the poster on the first page about responsible giant snake ownership. I konw breeders have a living to make, but damn. I was at a local show and this dumb-ASS teenager was talking about buying an anaconda. A freaking anaconda. This kid would have had trouble buying a pack of gum. The breeder didn't have any anacondas, but did have, and sold this kid, a retic. I thought it was highly irresponsible to sell that snake to that kid, who obviously lives at home, and whose parents weren't present, and who gave every impression possible that he was just a dumb assed kid that thought having a big snake was cool.

Oh, and for my .02 for the other tangents this thread has gone down.

There is no man made global warming. None. Global climate change happens as a function of nature, mostly due to solar activity.

Government intervention into people enjoying a hobby in a non threatening, non criminal way is just plain wrong. They do it because, as Ayn Rand said, you can't govern innocent men. The only way to have more power is to regulate more activity. Go ask anyone at AR15.com what I mean if this is confusing.
