Persuasive Speech

EricWI May 17, 2004 04:25 PM

Hello, I am preparing a persuasive speech, and my subject will be the support of the reptile hobby. I will be addressing the arguements made against us by animal rights organizations:
1. Reptiles are dangerous and ill suited as pets
2. Reptiles pose a public health threat by salmonella
3. The average person cannot care for a reptile

Does anyone know of books, pamphlets, internet sites that I can cite?
