I don't think so. That's a bit of a stretch don't you think?

Anyway, it was just like I said before, some kind of ban, in one form or another is going to happen with or without comments and protests.

I think maybe it's better for your cause if I don't vote or comment, because I would have to say that I would support the bill if they narrow it down to a few species that really do belong on that list of injurious species. I think the reptile hobby and trade, and related industries are not going to suffer from banning 20 foot, face biting, child killing snakes. Burmese pythons are terrible choice as a pet.
I'm using my phone... I've got About 2 mins but I agree with mostly everything you said... Except for you last sentence. That's like generalizing that since some pitbulls bite people they should all be banned! I mean, have you ever worked with a cb properly raised Burm? They are among the most docile snake there is. They make great pets. Just not for everybody. Punish the deed, not the breed!!!!
