Hope can never disappear entirely, as long as there are mites around, there will always be some shred of hope left. In norway home lives in the safety and well being of your terrariums, and in reading newspapers, debating in forum and writing to stupid newspapers when they are condemning you in public attention.

Hope also lives in the support and empathy of your personal friends and family.

I think we all need a higher degree of empathy for each other.

If we do not weigh the interests of our own species and the interests of other species equally, we are behaving like speciesists!

As long a there are good terrariumsfolk around any irresponsible herp ban in any country can only be temporary for as long there is hope, there is always a fair chance that victory for the mites will prevail!



Best wishes
