Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Joe, Troy, Anyone... Do you have a way that we can have a meeting (offline) so that we can discuss some methods in what I would consider "The Reaction". It is possible that this new verbage may pass and if so we need to perform Due Diligence to work around it. I would consider these forums to be CLOSED until we can get a plan together of some sort. It would be nice to have someone with Legal Expertise if possible as well.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Steven

Sorry, What I meant to say is that these meetings should be more selective particapants rather than Open Doors "style" of meeting. Not closed forum... Forum was the incorrect verbage.

Sorry,

Steven

And how would you go about selecting these participants? I don't think that anyone who has an interest in this should be excluded.

Actually I think most of us seem to be pretty much of a mind on most aspects of these issues. We should decide on a small committee of trusted herpers who:

A) Are extremely motivated to put in the work necessary.
B) Are in general experienced, trusted and well regarded in the herper community.

I could think of a half dozen names I'd trust to represent us right off....

Where is Ken Magnuson, from what I can tell he is up to his armpits trying to keep this thing from biting us in the butt. But I have not actually seen him in.... well years, maybe not a decade. But a long time.

I assume he at least trolls this forum, and I for one would like to hear some first hand input on what is going on.

So far the worst thing we have been doing is guessing and assuming. We need to fix that, we need to be informed. So far nobody has the current revised wording, I doubt it is a secret. Is there somebody on this forum in Austin that can try to take some time to go down and get a physical copy of HB 2414 as it is in committee right now?

I am tired of pulling my hair out....
