Facebook Group: "World Protection For Snakes.
Up until last night I was a member of the Facebook group: "World Protection For Snakes - It's All About The Snakes."
After I recieved two email messages from the group yesterday, I decided to leave the group. The messages were regarding the Python Hunt in Florida. They had a very PETA/HSUS-ish feel to them. Especially these parts:
"The whole program could also be used to raise awareness about the problems of buying animals from the exotic pet trade..."
"Many people who buy exotics do not take care of them and that is how this invasive species problem started."
"If nothing else I hope that the problem with the pythons in the Florida everglades will help encourage people not to support the exotic pet trade..."
I assume most of the members here do not subscribe to the PETA/HSUS philosophy, so I figured I would share this in case any of you were members of this Facebook group.
