I wasn't necesarily talking about the organizations that receive the dollars, but the actual promoters/venues themselves. Without exotics, many of the larger herp shows would probably fold. Is it not in their best interests to support this fight with some big bucks? (Maybe they do already?)
Likewise, would it not benefit USARK to offer a scaled down "complimentary" membership to the hundreds of casual herpers that may attend these expos? I'm strictly talking about boosting membership in USARK in order to give USARK increased credibility with opponents. Many of these part time "closet" herpers probably wouldn't spend the money for a "full" membership, but for USARK's cause, strength comes with numbers.
On another front, I was dismayed by the total lack of HR669 headlines or even acknowledgement on many herp websites (HCU-TX, SE Venomous, etc.)! Explanations?
