You do not have to convince us we know who and what PETA is and does.They put on a false front to raise funds to hire lobbyists to create bills to make laws to do it all over one more time.When they kill an animal it is for there greater good they speak of .In the long run They end up winning.The people who stuff 5 dollar bills in envilopes to support there cause are the ones who need to know the truth.We are keepers of reptiles the evil is on us and we must stand to fight this wave of terror that is washing over our nation.When you put abused animals on TV then ask for money to save them that is what people think they are doing.I was a believer myself at one time I wore there t shirts sent them money and spoke highly of there movement.I did not know squat.This is about alot more than reptiles it is about freedoms we americans have taken for granted and forgot what freedom was.Every time someone says hey they should not be doing this or that we are doing the same.If what your neighbor does not do what you think is normal do you create a law to ban it .Or do you say it is his right as an american to do what he likes as long as it does not infringe on my rights as an american.Yes we are Americans we believe in freedom to keep crocs or rattlesnakes pythons or race cars.In this I see no difference at all.I like my harley and I like to hunt snakes I also like to keep cobras so what It does not hurt you why bother me.I will not bother you for the same.Well the ideas have been lost as to what freedom is and a new idea has arisen .It is called big brother please save us from ourselves. This idea I know to most of us seems foreign .Tho it is not to all.There are some people here in Texas that want our laws to be like florida.Well florida is great but I do not need game wardens in my home to decide if I can keep a snake.This is the start of the mentality that has taken over our great nation.Like some how some one who has never kept a snake can decide if I can.When any freedom is lost it all is soon to follow.This is how I was raised and this is how I think.Now florida has banned the ROC.iT WILL NOT BE TO LONG UNTIL ALL STATES DO THE SAME THEN NEW ANIMALS CAN BE ADDED LATER.To ammend a law is much easyer to do than make a new law.I am ranting sorry I love America and I love freedom.It would be nice to see other Americans feel the same.
