>>It's clear who's side amazondoc is on. She is not on our side and most of the people here will agree to that. She showed up in this forum about two weeks ago and has done nothing but correct, put down, and argued with just about everyone. She has ruined this forum. She is on the side of the Humane Siciety and Peta for sure. She even has a dog rescue. I would even bet she has ties to the Humane Society. All she is doing here is stirring the pot. Here agenda is not to help us at all.

I almost pulled this post. Honestly.

I am the site coordinator for kingsnake.com and I run a reptile rescue as I have for 15 years. I sit on the board of directors of a purebred cat rescue and a bull breed dog rescue.

I have actively educated against both H$U$ and PETA for the last 15 years with my rescue and educational efforts.

There is a HUGE difference between the "Humane Society of the United States" and the humane society or rescue groups in your back yards. This is something everyone needs to realize before you go attacking groups. I have actively participated in public debates against PETA

There is a big divide between Animal Welfare and Animal Rights. You need to understand that divide before attacking folks. Our reptile community is a mix of a wide variety of people. Yes I do rescue, but I have also purchased animals and I am also active in conservation. I also prefer my steaks medium rare, so bear that in mind if you intend on taking me out in Daytona. I also fish and I would hunt if my husband would allow me to walk on uneven ground with a loaded firearm.

I am very anti legislation. I do not need my government telling me what snakes I can own.

I can not speak on Amazondocs affiliations, those are hers, but to assume everyone in rescue or the humane society community is affiliated with PETA is a slap in the face of many.


I would also like to remind everyone that this is verging on personal attacks. Debates are fine, but step it down a notch, take a deep breath. I want to allow debate, but we need to stop making this personal.
