I agree! Let the AR groups do the finger pointing... we can do better.
The Reptile Nation should be advocating for peer reviewed science, animal husbandry best practices and public education concerning exotic reptiles and amphibians.
The Reptile Nation should also use its considerable aggregate knowledge to become a trusted authority on the care and keeping of exotic reptiles and amphibians. The propaganda voiced by the AR groups and repeated by gullible politicians and the media should also be debunked at every opportunity.
Lastly, the Reptile Nation must not allow the AR groups to marginalize our interests. We must include every reasonable person and organization in our fight with sayings such as "If laws can be passed based upon flawed science, then no one is safe." and "This fight is not just about having an exotic pet - this fight is about the right of anyone to have a pet whether that pet be a snake, a fish, a bird, a cat or a dog."
