If you don't agree with this petition, just don't sign it. You don't have to have a go at people just because they are doing something you don't agree with. Do you have to just make trouble??

This only makes trouble for those who find a signature pool of people who are willing to be whipped into a frenzy without giving much thought as to the end result of their actions.
I didn't say the petition was wrong although you are correct in that I don't agree with it an this kneejerk reaction. If you think that my views are only expressed to start trouble... well... I can think of many easier ways to 'start trouble' on lists or in organizations such as this. My intent is to provide some thought to any persons actions that they take without them giving it some thought because a petition such as this which is placed in motion and finally does take hold... is very difficult to take back. It takes an individual a second to place a signature and many do so without giving much thought as to how it effects others and, in the end, themselves.

There are a hand full of people that do have a clue. I do think that most are thick.
What you need to realize is that these petitions impact you and your ability to keep a pet chelonian. Quote:

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. Quote:
