That's debatable at best. I would say most people would read some of the quotes like "they knew raising their children in this environment was wrong, but they just wouldn't get rid of their snakes" along with the fact that the snakes were kept in safe, clean cages and weren't exotic will just make the people out to be just a couple with mental problems.

its written to sound like despite being cared for properly, the snakes caused deplorable conditions, i think is the issue, since it wasnt.

also it puts off a stigma that all of us have thousands of smelly snakes. Articles like this are what make landlords ban all pets and ruin it for the rest of us.

Sorry to change the title, but I was afraid to start a ban thread.

This Tuesday, March 6, Brian Potter will again be travelling to Springfield, IL to fight for us in court. Today at the Expo, I was placed on a list to go with a group to show our support. The woman from the Expo will be calling me later in the week with further details. I don't know if there will be a bus involved or if we will all be carpooling or what will be arranged for the day. I know it's a four hour drive and we will be leaving around 8.

If you are interest in showing your support, in a courtroom where it matters most, please PM me and I'll be happy to share the details.

Let's to this!

The Burmese python ban hasn't even gone into effect yet and they have already added the rest of the large snakes and boa contractors. Moving along very fast and should have all monitor keepers worried. We are next. Guarantee niles, waters, crocs and albigs are next on the chopping block. If we cant help the python guys which are more funded then us then we will fall even faster.
HR511 is on its way to the house.

Dont leave the fight to someone else, everyone is going to have to help out.
Virgina, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois and West Virgina have started pushing an all out reptile ban to include everything that they can think of. (All can be found on fuana) Step up or sell out because soon we have to do one or the other.

I dont even own large snakes anymore but know they will eat away at the hobby until nothing is left.

Do we REALLY need ANOTHER ban thread?? I thought the whole point was just having one?

takagari · 03-06-12, 09:55 AM

I dont know why it's in the giants section?

But yes you do. People are ignoring this because it's not the species they keep.

Well boa keepers said that last time. Your turn is up. You guys better damn well bet Ball pythons will be next!

The very original bill would of banned ALL BOIDS...

So people need to wake up and start donating and writing.

If you want all the bans info in one thread than Sticky or keep bumping it up to the top so it does not get lost in all the other post.

Obviously we do! Have you burned your eyes out yet?

Getting lost in all of the other threads really wouldn't be a bad thing.

Ok im going to say nothing before i get kicked off this forum.

Lankyrob · 03-06-12, 10:20 AM

I totally understand the emotions involved with what is happening and that people want to keep the pressure up but WE all know about the bans, we all know what needs to be done.

All that the multiple threads is doing, to me at least and i dont think i am the only one, is annoying me.

That's probably a good idea.

Sad thing is EVERYONE does not know about the ban EVERYONE does not know what to do, i run into so many people on forums that just got into snakes and knows nothing so its good to have the ban thread bumped up so they can read and find out how to help.

I am done...
