I agree completely with your opinion and stance on this matter. I was also raised around very responsible herpetoculturists and herpetologists and was trained and informed to the hilt. I never realized then how it could so positively affect me now. Positive mentors. I will not turn the other cheek when it comes to fighting for my liberties or those of others. Little stuff, no problem. This is big stuff to me. I am just getting back into the hobby and feel like the rug is getting swept from beneath my feet. I joined USARK and opposed HR669 and I am following AB1122 and I have come to accept and appreciate the fact that rights are not taken away from us, we give them away. That is why I wish to fight for my rights, not give them away and will not turn the other cheek.
