A little political? Hell, yes, it's political. It has to be! With a handle like pythons4pets, you, of all people, should understand that. After all, pythons are one of the most 'under the microscope' of the exotic pets right now. What you, and unfortunately a lot of other people, don't differentiate is the difference between animal RIGHTS and animal WELFARE. The animal RIGHTS movement is definitely something that should be fought, tooth and nail. Groups like Peta are for the eradication of ALL animals in captivity, both exotic and domestic. Supposedly impartial news media such as CNN should not air such slanted "journalism" unless they follow it up with an equally weighted program on the other side. However, this is a more and more common occurrence - the so-called 'news media' and 'nature documentarians' highlighting the AR agenda, throwing exotic animals (and animal owners in general sometimes) under the bus, often just for ratings.
Since you are new to the forum, maybe you should take a moment to get your bearings before you pass judgment on those who are fighting for your rights to your pets.
