Subj: Fwd: BANNING EXOTIC PETS

From: Petmarketshows
There is a serious movement in Florida and the USA to ban all exotic pets. It is being spearheaded by a number of groups across the nation, both large and small, and threatens to take away everyone's right to keep exotic pets, both captive bred and wild caught. Even small organizations such as Jungle Friends (13915 N.State Rd.121, Gainesville, FL 32653 Tel.386-418-0808 or 386-462-7779) are making influential inroads into the pet shop industry, exotic pet breeders, exotic pet markets and expos and exotic pet hobbyists through a continuous aggressive effort. Such organizations show no fear, and are willing to go to any lengths to make their beliefs the law of the land. It is certainly time for all of us who disagree with Jungle Friends and other anti-exotic pet organizations to make our voices heard and to let the anti-exotic pet people know there are good Americans who will not allow them to take away our rights. Herptile enthusiasts are especially under attack by groups such as Jungle Friends, who think nothing of using snake scare tactics and slurs about snake keepers, as part of their ammunition. It is time we begin to organize and put as much effort into educating people about our point of view, as they are educating others about their point of view. Please become involved. Don't allow these organizations to take away our hobbies and our rights. It's simply unfair. Lenny R.
I agree with Lenny R. Beth Moody
