Good thing you are in Europe. You know I have never researched pet care agencies in Europe, because it did not affect me, so I did not care.
But I do care and so should you, we are together in this, we must wach for each other´s backs, our hobby and our pets continual existence depends on it! And its not just reptiles, just to think about thouse peta freaks ho killed and frozed thouse cats and dogs, that they were supossed to find loving homes for makes me sick as do kill sheltersarmac;3963965; said:
That is just the destiny awaiting thousands of pet reptiles if any ban is to come foard, I can not let that happen
you could probably count the number of animals they found homes for last year on one hand... which is an epic fail considering the amount of money they bring in yearly.
I don't know anything about the HSUS, but it is important that people do not confuse this organization with the many fine local Humane Societies. My local Humane Society (I believe they call themselves the "Mid-Valley Humane society") is a great organization.
Years ago I had a male Iguana that I rescued from an unheated, unlighted 40 gallon tank in a teacher's classroom. The iguana thrived and grew like a weed. Unfortunately, he had an extreme hatred of cats (we had four indoor cats at the time) and would thrash about violently whenever he saw one. After a while I decided I needed to re-home Lizzy (thought "she" was female at first...) and I contacted the Humane Society. They put me in contact with a lady who was running a reptile rescue out of her home. They were very "pro-herp", but didn't have the resources to care for a five-foot male Iguana and that's why they referred me to someone that could and did help.
Again, I can't say anything about the HSUS, but I fully support my local chapter and encourage others to do the same.

yeah HSUS is crap organization, they suck and put most of their money towards advertising instead of actually helping the animals, and yeah local humane societies are totally different, they are not the same organizations
BUMP! they are also anti fish keeping. They do not want anyone to have any form of an exotic pet.
do i hear a riot coming on......... hell yeah im there. hahahaha really though screw them it will never happen. maybe some good could come of it in the pets interest, like you must own the right size tank for the critter or fish. so think of it this way no more rtc's in a 55 g for life, and no more ball pythons in a 55 g for life. if they refocus on bad care takers of the industry than thats fine most of us have nothing to worry about (except for there greed. thats just wrong that sounds like a good court case for a top $ lawyer to make good for all the locals on).
