I disagree 100%, divide and conquer, oldest game in town...



First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.



The behavior these unethical politicians and their cohorts are exibiting has to be fought by all of us, together. If we were to successfully seperate boas from pythons, do you really think that will last? They will be back, and after boas, then they will come back for colubrids. And while they are at it, they will be after the bird keepers, and small mammal keepers, and...and...and...



What we shold be thinking is how to get ALL pet owners engaged, not how to slip ourselves under the radar.



I don't have pythons, but I was just as angry when it was only the Burms being attacked as I am today. Getting boas off the list and sacraficing the rest would be no victory, it'd be playing into their hands. Then when they come for the boas, there wil be no python keepers to lend us a hand. Everyone, herpers or otherwise, should be jumping on the bandwagon, not some of us trying to find a way to safely jump off!



Just me $.02
