Time For Action
Ohio is one example of the many attacks that our hobby has coming at us. What exactly does a crazy guy letting dozens of Lions, Tigers and Bears have to do with passing a ” reptile law”? Well, it’s the perfect way for organizations like the HSUS to use this platform to push legislation that meets their agenda, which is to outlaw reptiles. We can all sit back and think that organizations like USARK and PIJAC will save us like they always do. But what are you doing to help them?
These are the hard cold facts, the vast majority of the people in our hobby as well as the majority of the people reading this blog will probably do nothing. Do you know that on our www.facebook.com/SnakeBytesTV page has about 10,000 “likes”. If each and every person were to get their friends on that site to stand up with us we would reach over 3,000,000 people, that’s right, over three millions people!!!! That’s just on my facebook page alone. Could you imagine if we started adding up all the other people on social networks, forums, and casual keepers of reptiles. We would be in the 10’s of millions is not the 100’s of millions. If every person donated $5 to USARK and or PIJAC they could have the funds to keep fighting for us, and you could still sit back and profit from their efforts. Without having to do anything more then sending a paypal. If you so decided to join the efforts like some of us, then you would be part of a movement. You could take the pride in knowing you were a “part” of saving our hobby! Wouldn’t that be a nice feeling?
This isn’t a bitch fest by me, it’s me pointing out the numbers that we all have at our finger tips. The question is, will you take 2 minutes out of your life to encourage your friends, fans and followers to join us in this battle, or will you sit back and complain when the government takes away our beloved reptiles. The time to act is now… lets reach out to everyone and show these law makers that we are not in the weird minority, but a growing and responsible part of their constituents. Join: www.usark.org and www.pijac.org now… And “like” and share this post to show your support! We can do this……
