PLEASE READ regarding python ban

Coleslaw007 Jan 23, 2012 03:03 PM

Guys please help out here!

Let's face it, most people probably don't even know about the python ban or if they do it doesn't seem like anything big. Let's fix that.

My bf and I have been trying to come up with ways to get more people involved with fighting the snake ban, especially non-herp peeps.
One idea was to create flyers that tell a bit about it and gives links to more info and to donate and sign to oppose it and distribute them everywhere here (AZ) that will give them out to customers. We've already talked to several local businesses that are willing.

I would like any suggestions you may have on good links I can give for more info that will send the message we want without being too wordy or long for a casual reader? I've asked on a couple of forums but no one is even responding.

Also I thought maybe if we could work out an idea for the flyers put them up to print out on different sites or something and asked people to, maybe people in other states and other parts of AZ would distribute them too?

Thanks so much! I do hope you can help out.

Nicole

I don't see the point really, those pythons are all captive bred now and shouldn't be imported anyway. What they should do is give a tax break to dealers selling the ones captured from the everglades. Ah, but that just makes to much sense for politics.

It bans transporting and selling not just importation. The point is that it is a gateway and most likely being pushed by the same people pusing hr669. Everyone seems to be blowing it off, wait till its your type of snake next.
