I think that the last paragraph is worth noting, specifically the part where Dr. Jacobson writes...
"Hopefully as the significance of this disease is apprecaited, more money will become available.
How could we, as an industry, develop a way to raise more money for this cause? I know personally that the NARBC shows have raised over $100,000.00 for PIJAC (Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council) which is a great cause as it funds lobbyists to fight for our rights to keep and breed animals in the U.S.A. Does anyone know of a way that we can raise this kind of money for Dr. Jacobson's research? I have NO time available to spearhead this type of action but I would be happy to donate animals or supplies to an auction or something to benefit this cause. It wouldn't have to be a reptile show, it could be an online auction or something like that. I know that all of us in the boid community could and would donate to this fund we just need to find someone who could launch this type of action.
It makes me sad that that I have to write about action and not do it because as a friend of mine always says... "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem!"
