"In my opinion, the Gov. Strickland/HSUS deal combined with the showing of this movie in Ohio should be an opportunity for grass roots herpers to voice our side and call attention to our defamation by the animal rights movement (HSUS, PETA, Animal Planet, The Nature Conservancy, Defenders of Wildlife, etc.), but we have to act quickly or we'll loose out."
