    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

#4...show stats of dog ownership problems of certain breeds still allowed that has caused maim and deaths
#5...show that reptiles are a confined keeps like pet birds and fish
#6...show that reptiles are therapeutic ( LOL ! but can be true )
#7...they won't want to hear this but > how do they impose a reptile law ?
#8...how do they expect the general public to be informed of any proposals or laws passing on reptiles
#9...does the law involve the retail market of pet stores or are they exempt
#10..while it is always as a rule a misdemeanor of laws passed on reptiles, does it make a child that has one a criminal ? LOL !
#11..seek out exactly who or whom wants a law to be passed and address them. It can be animal control, zoning commission, city or township council, or even chamber of commerce, other ?
#12..pull out the act of the constitution of the part about " in pursuit of life and liberty of happiness " or how ever it reads !
#13..qroat your right of paying taxes and you refuse to pay a special sector to enforce a task force to up-hold a passed or proposed animal law
#14..tell them that if passed you want more laws on the domestic keeping of the " inherently dangerous " pet thing of dogs and other pets non-reptile.
#..15...........more to add on by you all ?
 
lobbyists are actually fairly reasonable. these people deal with politicians all day, every day, and are much more astute at bending their ear than you or i would be, and can get alot more done in a lot less time. Failing that, a lawyer sympathetic to your cause, can also be invaluable. They can file injunctions and help tack on other measures and ammendments to effectively table a measure indefinately (essentially killing it).
 
While I will NOT support BSL (yes, it is breed specific laws/breed specific legislation), I feel that pointing out a comparison between the number of reptile related death as opposed to any other animal, or dogs in general per capita of each animal puts forth a fairly good arguement.
