"Yes we have the ear of the breeders. Yes we have the ear of the true hobbyists. But we still do not have the ear of enough pet shops and the general public to make a real hard hitting stand. The same people that sell many of the reptile supplies and feeders to the general public should also be actively involved and they quite frankly are not."

Well, yes. This would make sense. Some of us, including myself, believe the franchise corporate players are just waiting it all out on the sidelines, ready to make their big money deals with Government after the true aficionados are banned. In effect dumbing it down to the current Petco/Petsmart business model and level of expertise. If that ever does happen, it will indeed be a sad day for Herpetoculture.
