Even if I wasn't I'd still fight because every vote does count, and I dont only care about me.

Re: At a loss for words...

Wow really? That's a year from now "Mykee".. He's been up all night speaking with loads of people trying to help out his friends.. You must be one of the most SELFISH people I've ever spoken too.. and I've met a ton of selfish people so that just goes to show how SAD it must be to be you! I almost feel sorry for you.. but not really. You enjoy being by yourself and caring for yourself.. and why don't you do the rest of us, who actually care, and just stick to you, you and you! No one here needs to listen to your negativity..

Re: Read this now!

I made the phone call. I found it frustrating that the woman who answered the phone just took what I said with a grain of salt, although she said it would be noted.....are they actually keeping tabs on who is calling in? How many times can I call from various numbers with fake names?

Still working on the email. I'm brain dead and find it hard to concentrate

Re: At a loss for words...

The ban does not involve me, technically, since I do not own any of the species on the ban. I'm not a huge part of the reptile community, I don't know many reptile keepers in person (actually, I only know 3: my cousin, a friend here in Philly, and a friend in Miami). Yet I'm fighting for this ban to be lifted because it matters to other reptile owners- most of which I've never met. The ban doesn't concern me or my cousin, strictly speaking since we own ball pythons and a kingsnake, but I still wrote to every governor, senator, and representative that I could get a hold of. In fact, since I never plan on owning anything but ball pythons, the ban shouldn't bother me unless it starts to turn towards banning ball pythons, right? Not the case. I care because it matters to other people. Mykee, I don't think the way you say everyone else does ("me me me"). And I get the feeling that Stephan would still be fighting for us here in the states even if he wasn't planning on moving here.

Re: At a loss for words...

I truly wished more would show the passion and intensity that Stephan has shown spreading the word about this ongoing battle. I will fight for not only my right to keep my animals, but for others to be able to keep and breed theirs. We need more people like Stephan, not others who just lay down and die when the going gets tough, and say Oh well, too bad.

Re: At a loss for words...

What a surprise! the GF comes to Stephans aid.
You two have no clue as to how large a role I play in the reptile community here in Canada, or more specifically Southern Ontario (where 90% of reptile owners in Canada reside).
Being an active member BTW doesn't mean sitting in front of your computer 18 hours a day amassing over 6000 posts in ten months.
That's just sad.
And a little pathetic.

Where were you Stephan when the ban was going on in BC?
Nowhere.
No horse in the race...

KK and Alessia; more power to you. The communitty in general needs more members like you. If it had members who cared the way you two (Stephan too) it wouldn't be in the position it's in now. Too many people care too little.

Re: At a loss for words...

I'd like to add:

I also fight to lift the ban of pit bulls in different areas and states across the country... despite the fact that I do not (and never have) owned a pit bull. It's about caring about the species at a whole and the people who share the love for animals-- whether it be dogs, cats, birds, snakes, porcupines, you name it. I'm a big animal lover, and though I've never had any reason to fight for the survival of the florida panthers, pit bulls, sea turtles, burmese pythons, rock pythons, and yellow anacondas, I still do because the animals matter, and they matter to people, and I care. When it comes to this reptile ban, I'm involved mostly because it matters to people I've NEVER MET (most of you on this forum).

GF?? I'm not his girlfriend.. Unless of course GF stands for something else?

Oh and we do have a clue about "how large a role you play" but apparently you don't really give a **** so what use are you. Clearly you aren't doing much to help out anyone other than yourself and sitting at home bringing in your income from you "presious" animals you apparently could careless for.

First of all, Kayla is NOT my girlfriend, she is my roommate, my fiancee recently DIED and I have absolutely NO interest in dating right now.

I spent most of 2009 in the hospital, same with 2008 and the later part of 2010 from various injuries. And YES I did fight that ban, not even close to as hard as I would have liked but I was in pretty terrible mental and physical shape at the time.

Re: At a loss for words...

Piss off mikey, there are ways to contribute when not living in the country as Stephan is demonstrating. I've contributed, I'm spreading the word, sending emails, making phone calls, talking to people, but it just isn't enough. If you wanted you could do the same. Yes we're looking out for our own interests, but if you helped now, we would return the favor when asked.

Re: At a loss for words...

And like you say Mykee, if you are such a big part of the reptile community.. Imagine the help you could ACTUALLY offer if you gave two shits. Funny, it's people like you that take from away from people that actually care. It's people like you that bills pass because they "clearly" don't affect you. Well guess what, next they be banning ball pythons and see how much money you'll be making when it's illegal in Canada for you to sell them!
