I never said Jim was a sell out. I said he should have known better and he should of. We all know what Animal Planet's agenda is. And if you don't think ego played a part in him being on this show...well, denial is a river in Egypt.

I wasn't pleased to see George Van Horn and Winston Card on the show either. I haven't talked to Winston in many years so I don't know what his agenda is now. He use to be on our side. George is in the private sector so I assume he supports us but who knows nowadays? Ego, fame and notoriety or agenda?

Either way, we ALL must be VERY careful about what we do, how we do it and more importantly what we support/don't support. Do you care about the herp industry or do you just care about your little sub-group? Many have chosen their little sub-group that's my point. And sometimes that sub-group is one person.

If this USFWS attempted ban has taught us anything, it is that we must band together as ONE. We must admit our activities and money trails. We must proudly and fiercely support our rights. And we must show unity as an INDUSTRY to win. The line between business and hobby is wide and blurred. The line between commercial and recreational is wide and blurred. One thing we defintely don't want to do is sell out important sectors of the herp industry or unknowingly/selfishly aid or support the otherside.
