I'm not getting any "misrepresentation" aspect at all. None.



your quote:



The article I'm referring to was on CNN.com yesterday, and the owner admitted in the article that he didn't know it was against the towns code. He moved in to a small apartment with 20 snakes and didn't bother to investigate whether or not he was breaking the law. That 100% on him, the owner.



The owner who's python killed his girlfriend's 2 year old daughter is 100% to blame for that story surfacing and the damage it has done.



These, to nearly everyone, ARE sensational stories. Should the media not report them??? Of course they should. They're news. If these irresponsible owners would do their part, there wouldn't be any news.



In the minds of those who are already against us, your efforts to downplay any events and sweep them under the rug are just as damaging to the hobby as the events themselves...
