The previous talk of herp laws has me thinking

Mickey_TLK Jul 31, 2004 01:50 PM

In the post that was pulled, Jason made statement about how the laws are being formed to stop us from keeping herps. While I agree with many parts of his statements, I do think there is hope.

In Omaha we had a law passed a few years back banning any snakes able to reach 6ft or larger. That law lasted no more then 2 years before it was changed, and we are now allowed to keep 8ft or smaller (allowing redtails again).

More recently we have recieved word that due to the humaine societies inablity to distinguish a bci from a bcc, we are now able to keep ALL red tail boas.

So just because one sides fighting to limit our rights, doesnt mean with some hard work we cannot save our rights, even when temporarily pulled from us.

Keep up the good fight, join you local herp society, and be active in protecting your rights as a herper, as a American citizen, and in the end we should all be ok.

I AGREE WITH MICKEY. WE ALL HAVE TO STAY UNITED AND MUST FIGHT THIS WITH EDUCATION AND DETERMINATION. I HAVE PERSONALLY CHANGED THE MINES OF MANY SNAKE AND REPTILE HATERS OVER THE YEARS JUST BY INTRODUCING THEM TO THE FACTS. WE MUST ALSO EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN DISPLAYING OUR HERPS WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN VIEW THEM.( PLEASE DON'T TAKE YOUR 15 FOOT BURM ON A WALK IN THE PARK)

WOW

I have to say I was shocked to open this and not be slammed. Thanks for atleast letting things set aside on something like this, that was quite big of you, and appreciated.
