If we have interesting animals we all need to give talks at schools (if they will let you)and other civic gatherings to rebute this madness. I've done it here and the parents were shocked about it. The said they would never give money to them (HSUS)(Peta)ect. They took my word for it and were going to investagate more. I dont know people that believe this crap,and they dont want their kids to be exposed to it. I believe the AR's are a minority but have the "hollywood type producers" and TV as a stage. We must counter their agenda by speaking out in a public forum. Its a big hard job and we cant be lazy, as it will take a long time to undo it. I've personally seen it done through a Herp Society I was a founding member of and we dispelled the old redneck notion that the only good snake is a dead one. We changed that and the kids parents would tell me "I dont kill snakes anymore my kids wount let me. It took 15-20 years so GET TO WORK, INSPIRE SOMEONE. A live animal presentation done right is VERY affective. The kids dont forget it, but it has to be LIVE in their hands! They will forget what they read and pictures but NOT an impressive LIVE presentation. Above all DO NOT BE P.C. tell it like it is with confidence. I'm so pissed about this AR stuff and their inablers the Government.
