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.

If you were trying to do something that you didn't want everyone to know about, would you leave proof of it somewhere? It's all supposed to be kept "under wraps" until it's too late.

Rumors
Well, from my point of view I would think it quite possible we are all hearing the same rumors recirculated in several directions, changing slightly they travel. Almost impossible to know. It would seem to me that this is a perfect time for us to have "competing" lobbyist groups. Help to keep everyone honest and to watch over each other and our interests. It also makes it that much harder for something to sneak by.
I have heard it all in the last week or so. I also have personally heard one of the "big boys" in Florida spew all kinds of rhetoric at me a few years ago that amounted to basically the rumors we are hearing. God forbid there be a population of basement breeders, that is taking food off of his table. My solution was to help with that by taking my check out of his mailbox every couple of weeks when I had my retail store. Thought he was out of his skull then and still do. These ideas are out there-BUT that does not necessarily mean they are being translated into reality. Time will tell what the agendas are. Important thing is to hang tight until we know what is what, not whatever the latest internet rumor is.

Thats why I'm waiting for too, PROOF. Thats why I apologized in the other thread for just throwing things I HEARD of out there.
I have heard things from both parties and the things they accused each other of doing. But I'll just keep them to myself since there is no proof, I almost had one but the guy I was talking to (emailing) was smart enough not to give me a concrete answer. I'll just seat and wait to see what comes out but for now every anti-hr669 organization has my full support.

Lack of anything but talk
Until there is a document being introduced or PIJAC/participating member goes on the record that is all it can be. An unsubstantiated rumor. That does not mean it can not come true, it just is not true or false as of yet. Why not save a little bit of fight for when there is a fight. Mean time-diligence and observation will serve me best.

It's a shame that extra energy isn't being turned toward fighting for our rights, rather than bashing one another.

Actually, if you think about Shadera, it's brilliance! While we are so busy fighting with each other about who has done more for the hobby, "big brother" can slip one past us while we are other wise engaged.
What also bothers me about this whole rumor mill situation. If, let's say a big "if" these rumors even have a shred of truth to them, who would benefit from them? Not the big boys nor the hobbiest.
If our rights are taken away, who would the so called elite sell to? Each other? I don't think so scooter. We need them as much as they need us. The squeaky wheel might get the oil first, but, who is holding the proverbial "oil can"???? Why are that's who!!!
We as a whole community need to stick together. Boa keepers, bp keepers, dragon, leo, frog, and turtle keepers need to be united in our interests!
United we stand, however, if we are separate in our interest's, separately we will fall. One breed at a time.
