usark

I have been doing alot of fallowing in the foot steps of usark and fighting the laws on what levels I can and the other day I watched Jeff's speech on youtube and let me tell yeah that took a pair and the honesty Jeff spoke was to the core. It sickens me to think that our goverment is doing this due to peoples stupidity and the list keeps growing starting with animal planet nat geo humane society etc etc etc you dont see them banning dogs they kill more wild life and people than any reptile ever could. I mean look at the impact dogs and cats have had on wild life in the us. Look at the damage some peoples birds have done aka monk parakeet love birds amazons in the parks of L.A these are all animals that are feral. So how come its just the reptile people that are getting the short end of the stick? Look at the picture here monk parakeets aka quaker parrots that are banned in various states due to the damage that has been done by them. The impact is still being done too. All this political smoke and mirrors is frustrating and im not going to just roll over and give up my snakes. I would rather go to jail than see any animal put down let alone my own animals. Just a sick thought from a fed up person I guess

Bill you get to watch it he isnt the only one that feels this way i posted the link in a previous forum topic but to see Jeff have the sack to say what we are all feeling and thinking was right on the money and if it wasnt for the efforts of usark and other organizations like them we could probably loose everything we love in the reptile trade my heart and my soul goes out to the people who are fighting these bills and writing their congress people like my self

fight the good fight

I'm fighting right along with the rest. Writing letters, phone calls, donation$, etc.

And I'm just a herp hobbyist, not a breeder, and with just a small collection. There's no income at stake for me.

Also, a while back I posted on lots of the non-boa/python KS forums asking for those people to fight along with us, even though they didn't have boas or pythons. Got a warning from KS for multiple-forum postings, but I think they left the posts alone. The point was, if you're at all a herper, please help the boa/python herpers.
