I agree. I only caught the last 20 minutes or so, and even with that time frame, I was able to see that things weren't looking good. Unfortunately, and I don't mean this necessarily negatively towards him, but Dr. Jacobsen, talked wayyy too much. He provided more ammunition for them, than what he was realizing. Even though I understood his point, and other herpers will understand his point...it doesn't come across well to non-herpers.
Explaining how a Russell's viper escaped a college dorm room ages ago and was never recovered doesn't sound good!
Both of our representatives in this case seem a bit shaken up. Andrew Wyatt definitely tried his best, but it seemed he only came prepared to express his reasons for opposition, but not so much to defend those reasons against their responses.
