I was just pulling your leg in friendly debate mate, hope I haven´t offended you in any way.

You think the opposition tripped and fell? I think you have broken your argument, just the other day you guys were saying things were starting to look scary in the US and now all the opposition is suddenly on the floor and gaping? what happened? I must have missed some important piece of information, could you explain plz?



One would think that highly developed ethical warm-blooded primates with tender feelings toward cold-blooded animals would react, and participate, instead of just being quiet and waiting for something to happen. Waiting for another attack to come in?

The past 4 weeks maybe 50 people have participated in kingsnake Law & CITES forum. That´s not really a tidal-wave of warriors advocating for the best interest of their animals..

The past 2 weeks 32 people have participated. Fewer and fewer reptile owners follow these debates as they draw long and boring and dry. I hope I haven´t scared anyone away, it´s just so sad to see a forum goes mute like this. it is as if the responsible reptile owners we are talking about do not exist, or at least they don´t voice out their oppinion in public debate, speak up people! for goodness sake, this is not the time to play timid!

A handful of folks are putting up a herculian effort here and there, but especially here, it seems like no one gives a [bleep], except a pentionist who is defending his egoistical self interest in the pet industry, the money making machinery.

One would expect the terrarium keeper would feel she has an interest in participating in debates, and speak up her oppinion.

I can understand that Ralph davis isn´t very active here, he has his own forum to tend, and a buisness to run, and he is also an active lobbyist for the best interests of terrarium animals. ..

I can understand that a handful of firesouls and a retired pentionist have time to battle the windmills in here. What I can´t understand is that practically no one else gets provoked, takes a stand, shares oppinion, marks interest, or disgust, or impatience, emphathy or concerns of other types.

I think that expert oppinion regarding companion animals comes from people with hands on experience with reptiles and amphibians, problem seems to be there seems to be very few people with hands on experience with reptiles, judging from the count of different people who have been posting here over the last month.

Alledgedly over 2500 reptile people have sent letters to congressmenn before april 23rd, but less than 35 people have been active in here over the past couple of weeks.

When the opposition decides to stop playing dead in an effort to dust off some minor negative attention, expect AR vengence to hit you in the bak of the head like a 30-pound sledge-hammer.

"watchful waiting" strategy is a mystery to me, especially when applied in the middle of the back stabbing festival of the year..

you hiding something?

Share with us the juicy bits plz, don´t keep your thoughts a secret!
