"Tin shields" aside, you have to admit Tim Harrison is more about an agenda then law enforcement...He likes to bill himself an expert on exotic animals.

Please take a few moments to check out the HSUS interview with him in case there is any ambiguity as to his stance - http://www.humanesociety.org/about/departments/hollywood/ace/tim_harrison_062308.html

He wants to see an end to the keeping of ALL exotics in captivity, plain and simple.

Here is his website though...
http://outreachforanimals.org/

As you can see, much like the famous Tippi Hedren, (and her rescue, http://www.shambala.org/ which, for the record, has had numerous violation & a mauling in its history) he is yet another one of these "I should be able to do it" - that is keep exotic animals and do educational programs - "but no one else should" people.

In this link, you can see him posing with a Burmese Python & large Water Monitor, with children all around.

You can bet though, if that were one of us, showing one of our animals, he'd be making sure to enlighten everyone around that "its only a matter of time before that animals deadly instincts come out, and someone gets hurt or killed".

Whatever else Tim Harrison is, he is most definitely a hypocrite, and an enemy to common sense, and our hobby.
