Sorry guys, but that's dinosaur thinking. If you can't bend in your thoughts, the next thing is to break. Some kind of law WILL happen, and it's probably not going to be what you , or me, like. I know that blustering and complaining and putting up a brave front sounds neat on a reptile forum, but it ain't gonna happen in real life.



You're going to be dragged kicking and screaming to the front table, and if you can't adapt....well....it may boil down to having some rights or none. The animal rights group was there at the hearing, and as much as I hate those nutcases, they have considerable pull and money. I know people who were there at the hearing, and most of those politicians will bend to the will of the majority, or what "seems" to be the majority. The only thing that saved our butts this time was the letter writing campaign and the grassroots organizing. They complemented our side on that.



The inevitable is that some animals WILL be banned from keeping privately. It WILL happen, there's no doubt. Ask the big cat and primate people.



Reptile people WILL have to compromise, it's that simple. And no, I don't like it either....but the handwriting is on the wall, and it's with permanant marker.
