it's a crappy extremely biased channel that doesn't even report the truth. Now you have given them more money for something that will probably never make it on tv or be seen by anyone with any political influence but congrats I suppose

Yea...thats one way to look at it...but atleast it wont be used as possible ammo when the fight comes up with exotics again...because they wouldnt want to use a poll that is not in their favor...
Just my opinion and I could be wrong

or they can track the ip's which I'm sure they do and show that so many votes came from so few diff places and showing that we are willing to bend the rules in our favor which could come back against us.

It wasnt just us...I sent it out through my wifes facebook account and she runs a parrot rescue with a very large nationwide following....rescues all over the U.S. and they sent it out to all their clients knowing that birds are/will be on the list as an exotic if not now then later.
Anything more than a cat or dog is considered an exotic as far as I understand.

Honestly, even almost all fish are considered exotic. If I remember correctly even guppies. Exotic is an extremely wide term and is totally ridiculous. As far as the site hits and making them money, I don't know about anyone else but I didn't click any of the adds so they didn't make a cent from me.

you may not have clicked on the ads on their site but it gives them better position when they show potential clients all that extra traffic on their site, even if they know alot came from same IP's.

if you think the 12-13000 votes or hits added anything to fox news already endless money supply then your on something good. our visiting their website to support our hobby didn't give them anything they wouldn't get anyway. they have so many delusional supporters already. they just hand them money and eat up everything they say, truth or not. the few penny's that they may have made was worth showing our support for what we care for.
