I am a type 1 diabetic and have been since the age of four. I began contact with my brothers pet reptiles a year or two later. My health has never suffered from zoonoses or from contact with my pets, the animals I have worked with at a zoo, or the pet shops I have worked for. CDC is part of an anti-pet agenda, along with HSUS and certain politicians and the campaign they are waging is on T.V., the radio and the internet. I feel we should counter with the truth everywhere and in every way we can. We need ideas and we need a team of leaders pushing our view. By the way, scrap the public option for my health care but allow me the pleasure of working with the animals I love, please.
