Now we get to look forward to a movie heating the theatres that will tell America what awful deranged dangerous people we are.

On the documentary's webpage is a positive review from Michael Moore. (That'll garner them more attention in the media....yep)

That's all I need to see to determine the credibility and impartiality of this documentary. Moore is a noisy buffoon.....

No soup for them.
NEEEEEXXXT!

"Have you hugged your drummer today?" --- Me

Althought it's easy to write it off as one sided and having no credibility, the fact is that the side that yells the loudest gets heard. every time we turn around, another group is trying to erase our hobby, and now these people are getting a major voice with a movie done by an ignorant director with an agenda. I think it's time for the industry to really fight back. We need a louder public voice. I remember a lot of money being raised for a reward leading to the arrest of the person who released the burm in florida for the sake of a news story-why can't money be raised for some air time to promote our hobby in a positive light? The opposition has no problem throwing money at us to try and make us go away.

It amazes me that five years ago, I was scum because I own guns and hunt. Now I'm scum because I own constricting snakes. the future is not looking very bright.

Same boat man. My 3 major hobbies are guns, snakes and paranormal investigations. So far...someone is always attacking 2 of the 3.
Just waiting for the day they try to tell me I can't "hunt" for ghosts anymore.

I'm also into muscle cars and fossils. There are plenty of people pushing for the types of cars I like to be sent to the scrapyard, and there are actually people trying to push laws banning the private ownership of fossils. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is a "ghost rights" group somewhere trying to make it so you can't ever own an EMF detector.

apparently my choices in hobbies are all point to me being a very bad person?

"Ghost Rights".

I literally laughed out loud.

My hobby of keeping Animals has always seem to upset someone. There was a girl in my 8th Grade class that would randomly tell me im a "Tortuer and Animal Killer" because I had to feed the snakes.

Wouldnt the snakes die if I didnt feed them..?

Don't forget that keeping them in rack systems is cruel.

It will be interesting to see what they put into the Dangerous Exotic category.
