Every time a sensational article comes out about snakes, or other exotic animals, and the possibility of banning them as pets, I will assume it was written by a HSUS or PETA mole and take full advantage of the sensationalism by posting the following about HSUS and PETA in response to the article:



Obviously, whoever wrote this story is very uninformed of scientific facts concerning the keeping of reptiles as pets, so it must have been written by a Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) or People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) mole. I'll leave the investigation of the harmless nature of most reptiles to the reader, because much of this information is readily available on the internet.



What is not readily available on the internet is the dark side of HSUS and PETA. For those who would like to know more about what HSUS and PETA are hiding from you (anyone who has ever donated money or time to either of these two organizations should not visit these links because it may be quite upsetting to learn where your money and time is going):



The Dark Side of HSUS (http://activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/136)



The Dark Side of PETA (http://activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/21)



PETA Kills Animals (http://www.petakillsanimals.com/)



For those of you who think HSUS and PETA only want to ban exotic pets, think again! They want to ban your dogs and cats as well. In fact, they want to ban the use of all animals, including assistance animals for the deaf and blind, farming and fishing, horse racing, animals used in film and research, and even drinking milk and eating meat.



What do you think now? Do you trust these people to be truthful to you?



If everyone would write a cut and paste response to these sensational articles, hopefully, the general public may begin to see through all this Animal Rights Propaganda and political grandstanding at our expense. At the very least, the sensationalism generated by these articles may begin to backfire on HSUS and PETA if the Reptile Nation does something about it.



Feel free to copy and paste the above response or write your own!
