We have to do something, and that (handing out information, and letting people really know what is going on) is something we who don't have a lot of money can do that is very beneficial.

Are the big breeders out there not scared? Or do you guys who do make good money from your animals know something us folks with a few pet snakes, don't? Are you going to be exempted and able to acquire permits to allow you to keep your animals or something?

What is your plan if the law makes your stock, and your business illegal?

And I was looking on the website that cop is affiliated with "Outreach For Animals"
http://www.outreachforanimals.org/inthenews
Our "deadly" snakes are certainly right on his radar...

Both he AND the "Elephant in the Living Room" facebook pages have the HSUS as one of their favorites.

It really looks like we are going to loose big time on this, as the flood of propaganda is getting bigger and bigger. I am upset that it seems neither the Humane Watch site, nor the center for consumer freedom has not (at least that I am aware of) bolstered support for the exotic animal keeping community...
