Reptile owners weigh in on invasive snake issue - NatGeo News Watch

USARK also sent an email out with this link in it.

in the article, the writer states:

"Several people have written to NatGeo News Watch in response to our early posts (Congress weighs ban on importation of pet pythons and Nine giant invasive snake species threaten U.S. ecosystems) pointing out that the people who know most about boas and pythons, the pet reptile owners and traders, have different perspectives about what's needed to prevent and reverse the problem of the snakes breeding in the wild."

(parenthesis added)

THAT WAS US!!!

WAY TO REPRESENT, RTB.COM!

Hopefully little by little we can all get the word out and sway public opinion
With that once public opinion beginns to sway possibly the legislators will also
I hope we have time to continue to sway public opinion

so check this out... he emailed me (more about why later) and said the following:

"By the way, I have to say that I am greatly impressed by the respectful tone and thought that is going in to all these comments about this issue--on the part of everyone who has taken part. It speaks highly of this community. Conversations like this all too often degenerate into a shouting match and people get rude and petty, and so destroy their arguments. I am happy to see this debate on this blog. I am learning a lot!"

so, MAJOR props for that one, guys!
