If there wasn't a strong compelling societal interest going on here would we be talking about this? Any talk of reform for the reptile trade is just pushed right out of the window here. This has become the snake-rights forum instead of a "herp law discussion forum".

When I try to talk about how I feel about "herp laws" I get all kinds of feed back about infringing on people when I could care less about what YOU have in YOUR collection. I'm fighting to keep other people from being able to get their hands on venomous, crocodilians (if there is a good pet here, let me know. can't think of one) and monster-sized reptiles. Im not saying I should enforce or decide anything, but this forum has been awfully one sided.

In other words, it's my forum too. It's not just the "patriotic snakekeeper forum". It's also the "reform the laws so we don't get this bullcrap anymore forum" if the people who post here want that. You can't just push us around and say "we're losing our patience". I don't give a damn about your patience, and you don't give a damn about mine.
