It's late so my thoughts are few, but I"m thinking that to have clout, and staying power from the view of the government and the public, a proper association needs to be set up. Call it the national hot keepers association or whatever. Now, a proper assocation, like the american veterinary medical association or the like, has regulations, guidelines, standards, an ethics commitee, and of equal importance, a disciplinary commitee (or chairperson).
A person, by acheiving the requirements and being a member of such an association, evermore sets them apart from an unregulated soup bowl of haphazard keepers.
