Maybe you're right John, in some respects. But if you are, then I give up. Because if the mainstreams really DO take up the banner of the AR morons, then we are lost. I'm just saying that I've been involved with Audubon, NWF, etc for 35 years and have never seen anything but scorn for PETA, ETC....

HCU has done a lot of good, and I think you are off-base there-I can't talk about some of it now, but suffice to say we are more than ready for the next legislative session (the only thing that defeated us last time was time running out).

We threw no one "under the bus", but merely did what was possible at the time-and TPW was not going to allow commercial collecting from roads, end of story. We've gone over this before no use rehashing it here. We had no input at all in the turtle regs-I breed turtles myself, so I hardly would have acceeded to the current regs had I had any say.
