Brad, I'm glad you have commented on this as this is the second time I've brought this issue up with no comments other than yours. The destruction of the privately owned Pet Stores would be a huge loss to the Industry and Americana. It would also be the end of an "era" that I would certainly miss as well as a lot of other folks. It would eventually lead to no choices for the budding herpetoculturist and the lack of choices would lead to disinterest. If we remove the young folks from being able to interact with wildlife when young they will have little empathy for it as they mature. These young people are tommorrows leaders and they need to be taught to love and appreciate wild things and wild areas. Nothing drives this love and appreciation more than having an aquarium of fish or a small herp in a terrarium. They have actually created a piece of nature in their own living quarters with their own hands and imagination. You can never develop that type of love and devotion by simply watching nature shows or going to the zoo...Thanks ----- Tom Crutchfield
