Letter to all Herpers:
If you are receiving this letter, your life is involved with reptiles in some way, whether it is an aspect of your job, your passion in life, or simply your favorite type of pet. Regardless of how reptiles affect you, the US Humane Society is trying to stop your ability to have reptiles as part of your life. Protect Your Rights To Own & Sell Reptiles! - Join PIJAC PIJAC is our frontline against laws that are poorly written or put the pet trade in jeopardy. Currently, there is legislation being considered in New York and Washington state that will, if passed as written, have a negative impact on reptile dealers/owners. Get involved and support PIJAC, who have been fighting for pet shop owners/pet owners/breeders rights since 1971. The more Pet Industry members PIJAC has, the more political power they have in fighting new legislation. Join today. (800) 553-7387 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for info Please contact PIJAC and ask how you can help, become a member, or donate. I implore everybody who makes any kind of income from the reptile industry to join PIJAC to help ensure your livelihood will not be drastically changed. There is also a petition to available to sign that states the following short rebuttal to the proposals made and information given by the HSUS. "We the undersigned, implore the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in conjunction with professional herpetologists, to look deeper into the issues propagated by the Humane Society of the United States and verify that their information may be erroneous in nature. We feel that instead of instituting a ban on this growing industry, that the government make reptile husbandry education and sanitary practices a priority."
