Re: National geographic on HR2811

This doesn't look good for the reptile industry. When did Nat Geo start turning into the Fox News of the animal kingdom?

Its hard to keep a levelhead when speaking about these issues or
reading these incomplete and over sensationalized reports

Don't you mean the CNN of the Animal Kingdom? Nobody gets it worse than the Crescent News Network!

I just made a (rather long-winded) response.

Re: National geographic on HR2811

Did you see he responded? Surprisingly, he seemed rather open-minded about the issue. I responded to his response, and plan on trying to contact him via phone tomorrow to chat more about this.

Re: National geographic on HR2811

I will be calling as well. This is the kind of thing that's going to make HR2811 pass.

Re: National geographic on HR2811

if anyone calls, just make sure you are civil... from his response to our posts on his blog, he was civil and sounded rather open to discussion and i don't want to piss him off. he's much less likely to listen that way.

trust me, i know it's hard to hold your tongue in light of such propaganda, but imagine if we could get an editor from national geographic to stand up for us? (i can hope, right? )
