[Snakes Incorporated]

Petition to STOP the FICTION based SB 373 & 2811 Ban on snakes

Targeting: The U.S. House of Representatives

These petitions are based on hype and people's fear of snakes. They are not based on science or even REALITY. They are designed to let the Govt. have power over what pet's people like to keep. This is the same type of thing as having our Government deciding what dog breeds you are allowed to keep. The stories about a large population of non native Burmese Pythons living in Florida's Everglades is a PERFECT example of turning a mole hill into a mountain. The numbers being stated are COMPLETELY FALSE! This is a group of people trying to scare and sensationalize a small state problem into a National problem with make believe dangers and science fiction facts. These bills would make things like a common pet Boa Constrictor illegal. It would be a Federal Crime to cross a state line with your PET SNAKE! Do not let our Government decide what commonly kept pets are suitable and what are not, do not let people that can not even identify a COMMON species to dictate your PERSONAL FREEDOMS! Do not let people believe all the make believe stories about pet snakes killing children! You never hear about how the Coroner's office see's these deaths and relates the actual death to Child abuse! People killing people and making it look as if the death was due to the snake, they make a perfect scape goats! The News fail to relay almost any story involving exotic snakes with facts, instead they exagerate size, dangers, mis-identify common species and ignore the boring facts. The Humane Society HSUUS does not want you keeping PETS, they find reptile people easy candidates, BIRD PEOPLE are NEXT!! Many people do not understand our love for our pets, they don't agree with our choices and they want to make it ILLEGAL! If you value your personal freedoms then please think about the Federal Government regulating what pets you are "allowed" to keep.

Please tell the United States Fish and Wildlife Service that you do not want them to tell you what pets you can legally keep. If they want to make laws ask them to please base them on Science and not hype, notions and make believe.
