Ok, now I am not stupid or anything, at least I think.
Dont our politicians have something more pressing to worry about this year??
Like a deep recession verging on depression?
Must be just me, but I think they should worry about that more than whether or not some people are keeping reptiles in their private domains!

Hey,

You would think so but they are easily bought. And the AR agenda has millions plus support from ignorant animal/conservation citizens and many academics. This is why we need to all come together under ONE umbrella and support all parts of the industry. These parts include big snake owners, turtle owners, venomous owners, collectors who buy and sell wild caught, dealers, breeders, and keepers of all stripes. I am sure that most "hobbyists" don't support this bill but many support other destructive regulations and policy positions that sell out the industry. We need to educate from within just as much as fighting those from the outside.
