I agree with everthing that has been said in this post but at this point in the game peta has a higher profile than us herpers. They manipulate celebrities into promoting their twisted messages. I belive that there will be a time when we can freely discuss all aspects good and bad of owning these wonderful reptiles but knowing firsthand how easily one statement taken out of context can be twisted into something that groups such as peta can use as ammo I would personally rather not even give them the oppurtunity. With the status of their group now even though they are crazy they could do some serious damage if they were to turn their sights specifically onto the reptile community. I'm not saying to fear their power because I don't, but I also wouldn't attack a grizzly bear unarmed. There is a time and a place for everything and taking political action is among the best possible avenues. Go to meeting as voice opposition. It is the only way to be heard. Write congressmen and high ranking public officials. Most importantly vote. I think under the certian circumstances suppressing some information although we shouldn't have to is a good way to stop the bad press and pressure on the reptile communtiy. If you take away an animals food it can grow so lets not feed peta and other organizations anything that could be fired back apon us.
