Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Mike,
I agree with you 100%.
The point that I was trying to make is that there is already a powerful organization in place that is fighting PETA on a daily basis. PIJAC addresses the legislative issues which is where the real fight is located.
The Humane Society of the United States {HSUS} is closely linked to PETA and is also very well-funded. They are spending their money in two primary places. One is with advertising dollars to convince the American public of their good intentions and garner additional support and monies and the other is with the lawmakers to pass more restrictive legislation regarding exotics.
The PETA members on the street harassing individuals and retail locations are small potatoes and really nothing more then an irritant. It's the courts that will ultimately decide the fate of our industry.
