"I am offended by this statement! I've known Jim for many years and I know he does not "sell" hots."

Sorry that you are offended, but what I said was "he is (or at least has been) involved in the "HOT" or venomous trade." So, unless he's flipping rocks and finding cobras in Eastern Kentucky, he's is or has been involved in the venomous trade (hint: I think he may have bought some). His brother's position is that there should not be a HOT trade (or exotic trade), buying or selling. My point was that Jim is involved in a business that his brother is making damning movies about. It wasn't meant to be a slam on Jim, but just as the title says, an interesting tidbit...two brothers (hopefully) on the opposite sides of an ungly fence.

And, it's not hard for people without the advantage of your close personal relationship with Jim to wonder on which side of the fence he stands. Apparently he was not protrayed well on the AP show (I haven't seen it, just referencing a related post that reports that). And, there is nothing on his Kentucky Reptile Zoo website that I could find stating a position on the ban or the AP programs, support for PIJAC or USARK, or any other reference. Looking at his website, one would never know any type of reptile related conflict exists. I'm not saying Jim is a bad person, but he is another reptile related entrepreneur that is suprisingly silent (other than being misunderstood on AP, apparently).
