POLL ON EXOTIC REPTILE BAN

USARK Jul 07, 2009 01:04 PM

The Orlando Sentinel is sponsoring a poll on whether to ban pythons and other exotic reptiles. Please follow the link and vote ASAP. Deadline 5:00 pm EDT today. It is not a coincidence that the big Senate EPW hearing on invasive species is tomorrow. Senator Bill Nelson from Florida will be there. PLEASE VOTE NOW!

There is a secondary poll under the "What do You Think" on the right hand side. Vote and forward the link to family, friends and co-workers.

You can vote as many times as you want to. Theoretically, one person could be sitting on their computer over and over voting "YES" and it still only represents one person wanting a ban. I would hope that this poll, even though I DID vote, would never be taken seriously in law-making decisions based on that flaw. I DO like that the poll states that the data is not scientific.

It is encouraging, and uplifting, to see such support and unity of the reptile community. Keep it up!

Keep voting until they close the poll. Last time they tricked us. Don't let it happen again. If they keep it open till tomorrow, and you have not voted, keep it coming!

That's strange...I voted twice. If you have access to more than one computer, vote on. I'm at home now, but if the poll is still on in the morning I'm voting from every computer in my classroom.

the website won't let vote more than 1 time.
But so far seems like NO are superior.

You should only vote once... we are doing good as it is.
