I worry that too many of us-understandably, I think-are taking the wrong tack with this. We SHOULD be emphasizing two aspects-the economic effect of these bills, which would devastate the pet bird, small animal, fish and herp industries-as well as the aspect of taking away such mainstream pets as birds, mammals and tropical fish (especially from KIDS).

Although WE are passionate about it, I'm not sure saying something like "Can you BELIEVE it? They are trying to take away my pet pythons!!!!" is a winning strategy.

Most people CAN believe it-and might be inclined to help...
