This is a general statement about my personal perspective on self regulation and the law. It`s directed at no one in particular



The first step is finding out who the enemy is.



The people behind these proposals are very well wrapped. They know exactly what their doing. Look at where an organization like Peta is at today and compare them to Pijac who had a ten year head start. Its friggin pathetic .



Activist organizations generate 100`s of millions of dollars, The big chains that started out as a couple little 7/11 sized pet food stores now generate billions of dollars and have a 1000 20 k + sq ft operations . The biggest reptile guys all seem to ether want to down size because their losing money or quit.



Self regulation,



I've been the perfect example of self regulation. I`ve spent my entire life doing things right. Now other people want to step in and talk about what "WE" need to do .



Don't include me in that "WE". Others might need a leash but I don't. If someone wants to make the world a better place they should work very hard on themselves at raising their kids to be responsible people. Responsible people understand what self regulation really means.





I'm a huge fan of Self regulation. Self ..that means if you don't like something don't do it. Tell your friends and family not to do it. Engaging a set of rules you think others should have to follow is not self regulation it's regulating other's. That I'm not a fan of.



For all the complexity's and all the espionage that's going on the bottom line is very simple. The everyday collectors, pet owners and hobby breeders will ether fight for what they want or take what they get.



Lastly,



I'm brutally honest to the point that it scares some people. Their afraid of getting their mask pulled off. Its sad the cowardly lengths these people are willing go to. They do this hoping to discredit someone who tells it like it is. Every time they fall flat on their face.



No one has been more open and honest about their past , present and future and documenting these experiences and thoughts then I have. My actions are all the proof needed to validate my personal ability to self regulate.
