Bad news is that I've evaluated my economical situation and found out that I can't affrod to go to court with my case.

It will break me economically.



An interesting turn of events is that friends of mine in the Norwegian herp environment have started a "kronerulling" to help me fund a lawyer so that 'i can keep my animals.

I'm touched by the initiative of my friends. :~)

Unfortunately it may be too late for me to do this but I proposed another thing...

To gather money so that we can go to court against the governments policy against herps and exotic animals in general.



The idea if only on the theoretical stage for now and nothing has been descided yet.

The idea is that if 100-200 people can donate 100-200 NOK (15-30 USD) every month for a year or two then we will gather a conciderable amount of money.

If other Norwegian organisations are willing to participate as well, then we'll gather even more and in time enough to take our government to court.

Early estimates have shown that we need about a halv million norwegian crowns (72.000 USD) to bring the case up to a European level court justice (EFTA or something like that).

This was suggested today and already nearly 20 people have signed up in case we descide to initiate this and start gathering money.



Regarding my particular case nothing new has happened, I'm still writing my appeal and waiting for a reply from the police.



Bzzz! I feel like a little bee in a large beeshive.

Maybe the time has come when the herpetoculturists in Norway realize thet the government has been rounding up our animals long enough...
