If you have not read it, I highly recommend it. You will find it on Dean Ripa's Bushmaster site. A very scary tail!

Thanks for the tip. I went there last night and reads parts 1 and 2.

I love the part about about the gov't agencies admittingly killing the very snakes they are setup to protect.

And who/what are they "protecting" the snakes from? Not habitat destruction. Not roads. Not even from people who hate snakes. But rather, from those that appreciate and respect these animals the most.

We need to align ourselves with these agencies and start policing our hobby honestly BUT they need to stop alienating us through the use of improper tactics and intimidation. After further reading and comparison to recent and past events as compared to a political agenda, it becomes too obvious that this is not about natural resource protection but the huge monster that is job security.

lateralis,
You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned "---it becomes too obvious that this is not about natural resource protection but the huge monster that is job security."

We don't need people like Mr. Ripa making sense and exposing the truth. We have BILLS TO PAY.
