This is the kind of unsubstantiated spin the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is putting on the new US Geologic Survey (USGS) study on '9 Large Constricting Snakes'. These people really are trying to put an end to the Reptile Nation. They will do and say just about anything to destroy our industry. They have no expertise and are wrong on the issues and policy 99% of the time. What they have is a well funded public relations and lobbying machine that keeps the pressure on politicians through a masterful manipulation of the media and an aggressive political giving strategy. These ideologues will stop at nothing to accomplish the goal of stopping the trade in reptiles. These people are not who they seem. They pluck at the heart strings of an animal loving American public in order to raise huge amounts of money, but they do not take care of any animals. They have nothing to do with your local Humane Society. 90% of the money raised goes toward six figure executive salaries, lobbying and more fund raising. HSUS is the largest most powerful member of the Animal Rights Industry in the US. They are attempting to use the new USGS Study to amend S 373 and HR 2811 in order to destroy the trade in reptiles.
