I should have clarified a little better but to me PETA hsus and the anti owner groups you speak of are all one in the same(to me) their what I call humaniacs the ones who believe we need saved from ourselves, to me the neighbor next door that makes the effort to complain and start the process to remove someones rights on the township level is no better then hsus and PETA at the state or feb level

also Im well aware of the those groups being labaled as terrorists however it still hasnt stopped politicians from excepting campaign money nor has the gov revoked their non profit statis yet like they should have, there was a big effort a few years back to have PETAS revoked because of ALF and the arsons in CA(i think thats were it was), so my point is that no one within the Gov takes them as a serious threat


one thing many dont realize about Peta and the humaniacs on top of what you mentioned is the letter righting campaigns theyll go into retirement villages and what not with old people who have nothing better to do and convince them there is an epidemic on their door step and they need to stop it, these little old ladies, a little niave in their old age with nothing better to do, that want to feel important go off the deep end for them, then next thing you know tyhey elderly are funding them believing they are actually doing good, it goes a little more in depth then that but you can also rest assured that the humaniacs(peta hsus whatever) are better organized and funded and whether its directly from them or through other channels our policians who we look to, to preserve our rights see alot more funds from them then us

I agree I dont actually think this is the complete end but, just like weve seen on the state levels once they start they dont stop, this is the first real major atempt on the fed level(ya granted they tried that blanket ban a couple years ago but it was totally rediculous and illogical) with this the door on the fed level is now open and its not all going to happen in one fair swoup but little by little its going to widdled away until there isnt enough left to call an industry


ive been around since the 80's ive seen this thing come full swing and its near the end, right now I make my living within the industry but im back in school so I can finish my degree becasue I dont want to be one of the ones left fitting over the tables scrapes when it all comes down

its a shame but it wont change it will only get worse the grass roots efforts that are being made now are great but IMO are a little to late, I dont care what any one says PIJAC is really all we have going for us and when ever year I sit at the PIJAC auction at tinley and watch what some of these guys throw in itd not wonder, year after year Ill watch bob clark a guy who is taking more out of this industry and makiing more money off it then most of us combined and all he throw in is one het albino male ball python, to me its really no wonder, greed, out of the people on the top within this industry IMO Jeffb puts in more then any of them, every year he throws in 2-3k worth, potter and ashley do alot but it always amazes me becasue aside from a couple people the oens who always put in the most are the ones who have the least, year after year I watch guys who fianacially are broke who barely can afford the gas to get to the show put in more then the so called "big names", IMO that greed is alot of why things are slowly coming to an end
