Or at least organized protests. The herp poeple need to be heard. Since the herp haters out there with the ban seem to be ignoreing our opinions.

Lets face it people are just ignorent and dumb. I mean every year 26 people die from dog attacks. But people ignore these attacks. But when some girl provokes a snake and gets herself hurt by a defensive snake them people wont them gone people wont them dead people wont them banned.

We need to open there eyes, save our hobby and if nessesary riot over our herp freedom.

Agreed Herptile! There is always something else, HR 2811 (i think) was just recently being discussed, this one to ban the import and trade of burms across the US, not just in Florida! There is not logic at all to bans! They are trying to push it on the fact that they are "dangerous" but (by bill nelsons statistics...not sure how accurate they are -_-) only 7 people have died from pythons in the past TEN years. more people die every day from much more common captives. captive DEER are actually the most dangerous animals to keep and kill more people than ANY other captive animal regardless of whether it is exotic or not! IF they are going to ban large snakes because of a few unfortunate incidents they may as well ban all vicious dogs, horses, deer, and pigs!

I have been trying to teach people that herps are not evil ugly creatures for a long time now. I know that it is hard. I am a outcast to even my famly for my hobby my lifestyal. Sometimes you just need to be forceful. Like PIJAC said,they won't rest so we cant eaither.

Herptile,people will always do stupid things,especially politicians.Don't be so paranoid dude,I've learned to deal that some people naturally hate this hobby and I just do the best I can to educate people and hope to change their herp-hating ways.As,at least I think,most of us.

And unforchunatly,more people,mainly in Florida,are going to hate reptiles now because of the python strangling the little girl.Granted,it was a bad thing that it killed her,but it doesn't mean all herps are bad.

Iv been saying it. I told you guys that we have to step up on our game. If its not the hr 669 then it something else. This is just the hr 669 in another form.
