He should have known better then to aid (accidentally or otherwise)the AR agenda for self benefit, notoriety and ego caressing. That’s what. It is quite evident that the Animal Planet is pushing the banning agenda. This show definitely does this. He needs to be more careful.

It is EVERYONE’s job who keeps, collects and breeds herps to fight for the right to do so and against those who want to take that right away. If not, what good are you?

Jim is a part of the herp industry just as all herp keepers and customers are. He has bought wild caught snakes from me and others in the industry. He exhibits and breeds herps, many of which came from the herp industry. The herp industry has provided many animals currently held in zoos.

Trashing them? Nobody trashed him or them. Being critical is not trashing. Calling people out is setting the record straight. And defending the industry is just that. “Construed as being critical of some herpers?” You have got to be kidding? If you really think this you are truly lost.
