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.

Important! Please read & look at links!
You will be utterly disgusted when you see the original petition created which prompted us to take action.. Again.
Please go to this site and sign this petition for the sake of our pets. All signatures will be sent to local senators. This was made after a horrible petition was started by a person claiming terrible and disgusting things about snakes and their owners. They said, in other words, that snake owners are basically sexual deviants who like to masturbate to their snakes eating furry pets. As well as completely botching the "facts" of local news stories on snakes.
It takes a couple minutes to sign up and sign the petition. Then please follow the second link on here to the profile of the author of the horrible petition. Please report that petition as containing false, unsuitable, and offensive information and ask for its removal by the site. You can also message the original author if you like but I ask that any messages to that author be polite. Do not turn us into the monsters they are making us out to be. Thanks for taking action once again!
Pass this to everyone on your myspace, facebook, and any other forum you may belong to. We need to out-voice these people. We are running out of time to make an impact..
~~Petition to sign!

Because I cannot really say it anywhere else - I am sick and tired of people in powerful situations getting a wild hair up their and making uneducated decisions. Seriously, do your research.
This bill, or whatever it is, not only takes a stab at my animals but it takes a stab at me on a personal level - making me out to be some sex fiend getting off on crushing puppies/kittens and then feeding children to my snakes. Out of all of the crap I have read on people trying to illegalize large constrictors, this has to be the most irritating piece of garbage I have read. I am getting past the point of being rational and it is becoming increasing difficult when I read these low blows from morons.

I have left 2 comments on that person page about that horrid petition. I have reported the petition itself to be removed. I hope everyone is doing the same things and passing all this info on. That petition has 260 signatures. We need to way surpass that to show this sicko that we actually care.

This is absolutley ridiculous! Not only does that "dog" have hooves, it's front legs bend the wrong way for it to be a dog. It is some sort of livestock. There are no facts in this petition and personally I feel it takes a really sick person to think up those kinds of "fetish's".
I am so angry that I had a hard time posting a comment on her "wall".

The dog in the picture is actually a goat, if you read the article linked to it this all took place in Australia by a wild snake. The dog theyre talking about was apparently stalked for "days" though I find that hard to believe, and again was consumed by a wild, native snake.
I wont even go into all the rest of the crap hes talking about.
That said Ive reported the petition, signed Foschi's, and am disappointed to say all the comments we have left on L_Swa's page have not only been deleted, but hes made his profile private rather than post any rebuttals.

Personally, I wanted to see the captive 300 pound snakes she posted about.

Due to all the negative comments on that persons page, he has now made it private LOL! Talk about impact..
Its looking good so far. 123 signatures. We are quickly catching up to that other bozo with the outrageous claims. Any signatures are automatically sent to your officials per the address you used when signing up. I think this letter is a nice change from the original ones we used in our campaigns before. This one is on a more personal note. USARK made comment recently about how the calls and letters stopped for a long time. Well now they are going strong again and the senators, house, and president are getting them now so everyone will know we are against this. Keep it going and keep passing it on. Thanks to everyone.

She took another petition this one http://animals.change.org/petitions/...videos_illegal and just worded it so snakes and snake owners do it and added the crap about the dog. This person is really deranged to make up lies about people because we like animals with scales. WTF? The worst part is that people are supporting this stupid little b!@#!. I cant believe it. Just cant believe it.
