A large German animal welfare society (like peta/RSPCA) would like to ban all exotic animals :mad:. Would mean the end for the Hamm show for a start..

I add my vote on your site.

It remind me of the seal hunting case, where pseudo-ecologist groups (as Peta and all his clones) give a deform vision of the subject (the only reason they are against this hunt isn't the seals safety (they are more that 5 millions Greenland seals here in the St-Lawrence Gulf), it is about the cutes pictures the babies ones make, so it help them to get millions and millions of dollars from people who thinks only with their heart without reasoning (ex : awww they are so cute, what kind of barbarian people can kill these littles cuties furry baby, here I give my money to these groups...)

It is truly a subject who make me see red :D.

I hope for you that the monetary and mediatic powers of these pseudo-ecologists groups won't work for your rights to keep exotic animals, as it worked with demonizing the seal's hunting. Good luck.

pseudo-ecologist groups (as Peta and all his clones)
Just want to give my opinion on this little bit here. By their own admission, animal rights groups are NOT environmentalists, even if there's occasionally some overlap. Generally speaking, they do not give a flying f about ecology.

[Barak666]

You're right Stefan.

We can see that in some of there actions, as in two thousands something, when they came near here in the Iles de la madeleine, with Sir Paul McCartney and the Humane society of United-States for a photoshoot on the ice, clothed in bright red/orange lifesuit with cute little babies seals (who are not even hunt) and filming the hunters who use the hagapik to kill the seal (a council of veterinarian conclude it was a quick and safe way to kill a seal when use properly).

They used to came here with something like 2 planes and 3 helicopters and then propose (in their videos) to save theses cute beasts buy using synthetic fur (made out of petrol) instead of natural one, quite pathetic.

The movie Phoque : le film describe the reality of these fishermen who see each years a bunch of fanatic in helicopter who come to insult, take pictures (who will be denatured) and provoke them. (sadly I don't know if there is a traduction of it)

Whatever I will stopped it here, I trully hope the European exotic animal's owner wont taste to much of the animalist's media and financial power.

Sorry if my long curve on that seal's hunt subject is a bit out of the initial subject (while keeping the animalists in commun)

[andycul]

Added my vote for you Greg :D Just hope that it does make a difference

[gregmonsta]

Fingers crossed mate .... the more they see the amount of people that would stand up against their nonesense the better.

[mustang]

[gregmonsta]

Lol ;) your doing a great service to the reptile community :D .... what kind of jerky?

[Stefan-A]

I GOT CONNECTIONS!!!!!)
I got connections, too. However, if these people get involved, that poll might end up saying that 90% of the voters support making it mandatory to keep Smurfs. :rolleyes:

venisan (white tailed deer :) yum)

[Tyrel26]

Voted! I would also like to add the the seal hunt is a topic that gets my blood going too. I am a seal hunter and it sickens me to see what has been done to the hunt; but ill keep it to the point. At least the vote so far seems to be going well.

you shoot or use a bangstick or club like on tv....? does it really work like tv portrays it? i got sooooo many questions

[Tyrel26]

This thread is meant to discuss a different matter and I don't think it would be right to ignore its importance. Im happy to answer questions but this isn't the place for it. if you feel the need to continue on this topic, feel free to start a new thread and Ill happily discuss this matter there.

[zooplan]

That´s no big assotiation!
It´s just a small group of lunatic fringe, being very busy in making big noise!
If they are really working for animal wellfare is arguable too.

Their final goal is to ban all animal keeping at all, but they´ve started struggling exotic pet keepers, because it´s much harder to ban guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs...

You shall read the article in German Wikipedia about it!

A hearty "Nein!" from me! Gah, I hate those organizations.
My sister bought a HSUS fund-raising t-shirt, and no matter how hard I tried to convince her that the organization is not good for animals and is against my sweet little snakes, she insisted that the t-shirt had a cute kitten on it!

[gregmonsta]
