Recently I was witness to a fight on an unnamed social media on a group's page about owning pythons. It was between an "anonymous" Ohio reptile company and a few owners as well as a few other breeders. The heated fight was about normal burmese pythons and whether or not they are unwanted and overpopulated. This entire dilemma made me sick. We all support the same cause but it seems the dollar signs blind quite a few and it needs to stop now. With recent attacks from the media and government, none of us can afford to fight or argue, especially on said social media page. Fighting within a structure is a sign of weakness and ultimately leads to the collapse of the structure. This makes me absolutely sick to consider myself as having the same interests as these stubborn people. There is too much animosity EVERYWHERE between people with the same interests. That does not make reptile keepers look serious. People need to realize something has to change or we will get nowhere. Ever.
