We are not as many as you may think, despite the 50.000 letters...

Most of us donīt have the competence and capasity, or will and understanding, to effectively halt AB 1122, AND HR669, AND S373, AND I donīt know what more...

And the government is not helping us much, on the contrary in some respects...

And the medias are not helping us much either. on the contrary in some places...

We are dead meat for the AR movement to reap.

We are a small community, the reptile people, in the grand scale of things, we are just a tiny percentage of the community. A straw in the wind.

Luckily we have good roots which are firmly planted in culture and science.

We can make a difference, if we sacrifice some time.

How much time do we need to spend working in solidarity to defend the right to responsible animal husbandry against all the numbers of bills which keep hitting us in the head each year?

I fear we may have the best intentions, only there are just not enough hours in the day. Not enough time between sunrise and sunset and the hour glass may be nearing the turning point.

It is not my intention to spread doomsday prophecies, I just tend to reach this type of conclusion in dialogue with concerned fellow terrarium keepers some times.

Please help make a convincing counter argument.



Iīm off to bed and in for a long work week, will have less time for kingsnake.



Wishing all a great week! ^_^
