I agree somewhat with Melissa. I've been very distraught at the sight of so many reptile owners either willing to throw other exotic owners under the bus, or outright condemning big cat/primate/etc. people. I'm not talking about USARK specifically. I realize that organization is specifically for reptile owners' rights. However, I've seen this behavior here, on USARKs facebook page, on other facebook pages, other forums, etc. It often seems like as long as pythons/venomous/etc. are removed from legislation, then a lot of reptile folk are okay with supporting such legislation - even though we ALL should know by now that exemptions rarely last, things are added, modified, etc. That's how "they" get us, by throwing certain sectors bread crumbs in hopes to garner support, then they screw those folks over later. And what about those of us who are both reptile AND mammal keepers? What do we do? Where do we fall?
