"1. Patron entry into ANY Reptile oriented expo in the US has part of their payment applied to an organization to support 'The Industry' (say $2.50 to $5.00 per person).

2. Vendors at all of these shows must pay an additional fee (or the proprietor of a show uses part of the table fee already paid) toward the same organization.

3. A benefit auction is mandatory for every Expo (similar to say the NRBE in Daytona) in some form or fashion."


Isnt this still the United States of America? Who are you to tell anyone that they have to support anyone, pay any additional fees or have a benefit for some organisation???? If people want to then fine but you telling anyone that this BS is mandatory??? move to Cuba or China and run your expos there comrade!
