If we don't work on getting some good PR for our community (the exotic owning community) we are going to end up going down.
I truly believe if this is how we are going to let ourselves be represented to the "general public", we should just roll over now, give up our animals, sell our equipment off, or just throw it away, and all start collecting stamps instead of what we do.
I think without being seen as a "legitimate" hobby, we are rather easy to paint with the broad brush as being a "dark and dangerous subculture".
I'd say from the amount of this stuff being pumped out, and how the public just eats it right up, we really don't have a chance. If we keep on letting this happen, with no rebuttal, we are only going to seem desperate and pathetic trying to counter it with pleas of salvaging our livelihoods later.
I sure wish I had money to devote to running adds, and making films...
