and what I would ACCEPT are two different things.

I don't think a lot of you folks realize-we are facing an existential threat here, and we need to find some way to deflect the huge boulder that is rushing downhill and is sure to crush us.

No matter how difficult they make it to bring in new species from overseas, that will not destroy our hobby. The bird industry/hobby has been operating very well for almost two decades now, with almost no importation whatsoever (only a tiny number allowed in for new breeding stock, none to the general public). In fact, I can obtain any species of parrot now that I could have 20 years ago. the same is true for herpetoculture-if breeders have to provide most animals, we can handle that. Heck, we already breed nearly all popular species in HUGE numbers.

What we can't handle is the agenda being pushed by the AR groups (our TRUE enemies). If they win, we will have to find another hobby to occupy our time.
