I think we need to come up with some of our own sound bites. Here are a few suggestions:



1. "This issue affects all pet owners. This issue is not just about reptiles. This issue is about whether or not anyone should have a pet, whether that pet be a reptile, fish, bird, cat or dog."



2. "If legislation can be passed that's not supported by the best available science, if jobs and families can be put in jeopardy, then no one’s safe."



3. "Prominent scientists call the USGS map bunk. Living just south of the U.S. border, in Mexico and in South America, are Boas and other snakes that have lived there for tens of thousands of years. No USGS map or any amount of legislation is going to change that."



Our issues are being marginalized and we need to do something about that.
