Ravenspirit,



>>They have to be among the worst hypocrites out there, who believe they should have their birds, but want to see aviculture ended.



Unfortunately, it's more than hypocrisy, it's the formula of special interest protectionism to achieve their objective...For most congressional bills that actually become laws, all it takes is a 51% majority and viola...Objective achieved. Like the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and later during the HR-669 hearings, all "they" are looking for is the appeasement of just enough "groups" to accomplish the mission...In return for their support, the appeased group receives recognition and protection for what they want and they are happy...For now.



The group thinks that they have achieved something real but in reality, it's only a matter of time before "they" come for them...After all, when a government can ban something, they've already created the "legal" justification for banning most anything...They only have to change the name in the [fill in the blank law or ordinance] and POOF, the next thing is banned. Sadly, the very group(s) that are protected now are also on the target list...They only think they've escaped...They are mistaken.



>>But then they'll adopt you a bird at market value after you jump through their hoops...



And like the zoos, etc, they get to continue to work with animals under the "protection" of ordinance or law...For now. Sound familiar? It's legal "bribery" under protectionism...Remember, it's about the end justifying the means.



Later,

Jim.
