wow... if you've ever met me I know you would not get that impression... those who have I'm sure will attest to that. I just an average joe with a big mouth/keyboard.

Sorry if I come across as one of those arrogant *******s who I dispise.

I oppose total control... pretty simple. I oppose those who try to dictate what another person does based on their values.

ello? You in the UK now have to register tortoises. I know of a few shops which have been buffloed into not selling tortoises. (Pets@home the most recent).

Again... I got mine. One of the strongest proponents of control/banning has actually bailed the country. That's not only gotta make you think but also has to make you wonder of future legislation.

You are right in that I'm trying to use scare tactics... it's only going to work if you are affraid of loosing the privaledge to keep chelonians.

He's also very active in opposing petitions which aim to preserve what is left of the chelonian species and his argument is that signing these things is going to mean that we are not goingt to be allowed to keep our tortoises any more. And then he accuses other people of scaremongering!
