I hear the rumblings of "lets hit them where it hurts, their wallet".

We talk among each other about a way to stop the madness. Meanwhile thousands of people a day contribute money to the organizations that are trying to put a stop to exotic pet ownership and even pet ownership all together. The average person gives to HSUS thinking it is helping homeless puppies and kittens. The average person gives to the Nature Conservancy without knowing their real agenda. They are using that money questionably as a nonprofit to push their agendas powerfully along.

The average person does not know what is churning below the water!

I think we need to try a different approach, to inform the mass population as much as possible. Put it out there for all to see.
Why not buy billboard space, on major highways in many states. They would put the proverbial fly in the ear of people traveling everyday locally and across the states. Make it publicly known what HSUS and The Nature Conservancy represent and what they are trying to do. It has to be tasteful and non aggressive, representing the average pet owner. I would not stress exotic pets in the ad, start out more general. Strength in numbers! Catch peoples attention, inform them what there money is being used for and maybe slow down the money feeding the monsters.
