sorry that you find my comments unprofessional; I try not to mince words and call it like I see it.



If you could rid yourself of the paranoid idea that biologists in general have a secret AR agenda you would make great strides in helping herpetological causes. The only agenda I have is to try and participate in the bridging of scientific and private communities whose interest in herpetology is under attack from various angles (AR groups and declining populations).



I repeated see you post anti academic ideology and wonder what you hope to gain from this? I have yet to meet a herpetologist in NC that supports AR agendas. Trust me if I had we would have had many animated discussions by now. Many folks see a middle ground where keeper’s rights are BALANCED with sustainable animal populations. Every interest group must be willing to compromise to achieve an equitable solution.



If you really believe that PARC holds an anti keeper mentality than instead of attacking them why not join the group and have your voice heard? I know of many people in this organization who hold keepers rights quite seriously.



Peace
