Good Morning everyone.. Hope you Saturdays are well.. Sorry for hitting you with such a crazy topic, but we as a reptile hobby are in trouble with this wave of anti-pet and anti-reptile legislation. We have to ban together and each of us do their part to help stop this in its tracks. Thankfully we were able to do this in Michigan a few weeks ago, but not Florida, New York, Alabama, and Oregon need our help! And trust me there are many more coming! So support http://.www.USARK.org and help us win these battles. I will keep you guys posted and will be talking about this on the podcast tonight at 5pm EST at http://www.YouTube.com/CheckingIn please join me there! We can win these battle if we do it together! Thanks as always for being so awesome and supporting the things that I am involved in! Love you guys! Brian

Lmao..yeah I’ll help... help shut you down... then you can eat your $50,000 snakes.... make sure you salt them well.. I hear McDonald’s is hiring... I hope they pass this bill and soon... and they confiscate all your snakes..

A snake can't be a pet. They don't care about you and won't interact with you.

"No to reptiles!" But guns are ok... This is crazy for me.

I really hope it doesn't affect Hawaii. The only cool reptiles we have here are just some sliders and tortoises. But I have Jackson Chameleons and they are invasive. I don't own sliders or tortoises so they are all I have.

Welcome to a world run by democrats. I don't feel bad for a single Biden voter.

I think you should probably sell some of your reptiles because you’re a getting too much

love ur videos Brian been watching ur stuff for very long time even when you on snake bites and thank you for convincing me to getting a few myself and introducing me to how cool leopard geckos are...my wife even loves them and started getting into them to😃.... also want to add I've been hoping on forums to spend the word about what's happening in Florida with the whole thing with baning iguanas and anyone who owes them or is breeding them would most likely have to give them up witch is not right and something I never want anyone to have go through... so I'm trying to do my part with getting the word out so anyone in the reptile community can still own and care and sell these amazing lizard's I know iguana's I've been around them my entire life... there so awesome I want everyone to have the same great experience as I did...even the guys over Tiki's geckos have a video up explaining everything about it...so for sure check that out... because it will help them and the whole reptile community out alot...if we can find a much better way to keep these lizards but without them being a invasive species in Florida to.

I can’t live without reptiles so let’s not give up!!!🤝🤝🤝

Governments around the world are trying to ban literally anything people have interst in. Guns, drones, reptiles, porn......fuck the Government.

i hope the dont pass that law.

Dems...

So we can't have an invasive tegu, but we want to open the borders to the USA. That makes sense..

This is UN Agenda 21 progress guys, the year is 2030 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.

Why brian got me out here emailing officials in different states 😭

I just sent off all my letters smfh this is crazy I have two ball pythons a savannah monitor and three plecostomus my kids would be crushed

...almost finished building a $11k burm enclosure. Oh HELL no.

Welcome to the club, now you know what it's like to be a gun owner

This is exactly why the last time I commented you were considering opening the next shop.Ohhh Brian 🙈, I do feel for you and all the other Herpers.Of course I’ll be signing whatever you want and pray that it all goes all of your way.Best of luck 🇬🇧to you all.

Fighting stupid bills before there passed is important because Brian has helped change my view on snakes and other reptiles so I support his cause.

I’ve been saying this for the last 3 years about these exact ban bills way before USark or anyone else . But no one wanted to hear it and I posed a solution that will actually work . I speak to a herpetologist a few days over the phone , I’ve tried to get on pod cast but because I’m not “ famous “ no one wants to listen but they have to get my sources , and use my ideas . It’s funny that people only bring up or support USark when their money sorry animals are in danger. These animals didn’t ask to come here so the problem is the owners and breeders who are irresponsible. But only see these animals as money . It’s then that people want to join USark and donate . Waiting to the last minute to solve a problem that we created is a good way to show the states and government that we don’t give a fuck until we have too. Very irresponsible.

Why? It's very simple why. The average politician has no idea what they're talking about. They propose bills and vote on them when they haven't done any research on the subject. They go in and vote on something with a pre-conceived mindset. It's wrong and ridiculous that they're pushing policies that 1. doesn't affect them 2. they are clueless about 3. affects thousands and usually millions of people's lives 4. are sometime listening to a small group of lobbyists or screaming/whining individuals that ACT like they represent the average person's feelings/position on the subject. This is becoming more of a drastic problem and, I'm not pushing a partisan issue here. It happens on both sides and it doesn't matter if one side does it more than others, it needs to completely stop. I promise you 99%, most likely 100%, of the politicians voting on this has no idea about the innerworkings of how pets are shipped. What probably happened was one incident that ended up killing a pet in the process and animal rights activists, like the hypocritical PETA, jumped in. I'm just guessing but I bet I'm not far off from the truth. Sadly instead of making a less strict bill where there are requirements for an individual to ship an animal safely, they just always go to the extreme. I'm sorry, this is a personal opinion here but, most of them are complete morons.

can you reach out to terri and steves kids personally to see if they will advocate for us as well? and their doing the same thing in fl

This will be the final video of yours that I watch Brian if you keep popping up commercials into your videos. I watch you to get a boost in my day and not to watch a commercial. I'm not sure who's pushing you to do this but mark my word I will unsubscribe and give up on your videos as much as I enjoy watching them. Please don't go that route Brian! If so, then I guess it's time to say goodbye. I will give a goodbye speech in the next video that includes this style of advertising. Thank you Brian

Cats are invasive, yet know where they have been banned for this. They just hate reptiles because they are exotic and don’t know them that well. They may be also against petsin general as you say. Vegans, AR, and similar types of people.

No one is taking my snakes away. I’ll die before I let that happen.

I don’t like racon

Its probably best to move animals discretely since public enforcement blogs with the public vegan since thier hitlers guinea pig.

The vegans in my yard scare them all. Its like a life sized rabbit a komodo will do.

Those damn vegans are at it again.

hey I'll try to help you out and all the animals there with all my power I cannot promise anything but I can help you out I'm sorry for what's happening with all your animals but I will try to do what I can to stop this I want to stop as much as you do and everybody else does I think I don't know but if they are with us we can do this we can stop all these people from banding all these animals

I will Doo what I can do for you and the animals

I dont think any state should ban them but I do think they should be tagged and certain people should have insurance depending weather your breeders,venomous keepers,zoos,pet stores, that way they are responsible if something happens just like hurricane situation down in Florida with all them loose just a person owning a reptile I just think they should be tagged just incase they do happen to get loose even know people should have escaped proof areas depending on what kind of animal,reptile or amphibian they know exactly who it belongs to

I guess they would have to be driven into the State but WTF is wrong with new York

All I have to say is freak this I have two lizards and I wouldn’t give them up for anything

NY sucks!!! First they kill babies as late as you want! Now they want to destroy the ability to have pets! I just can't say anything nice about them!! They don't think or feel!

3 years ago in Canada a law was created to be illegal to ship salamanders into canada and 2 years ago big snakes are illegal in Quebec province

You can marry your first cousin in Alabama but can’t keep snakes.... smh.... they’re focusing on the wrong thing.

I have a piebald male and a normal female Veiled Chameleons to feed and I get them food through shipping

I HAAAATE anti-pet parties!!!!!! They have my highest disrespect :0 ,,|,,

Gosh Brian we've been fighting these reptile bans now for almost 15 years and Tegus? Come on now seriously they are really being ridiculous trying to ban our reptiles :( Leave it to New York to start some crap for us animal lovers !!!

What is the reason for NY to stop all shipping of animals? I heard some of the reasons you gave but do they really believe that people are becoming sick from shipped animals? Being in NY I will send letters and emails to all the people on the committee.

i will never give up my gecko

I signed Kevin from NERDs Change.org petition and sent an email for the South Carolina Tegu ban. We have to fight this craziness! Next up is a donation to USARK!

This law makes my point even more. Humans are in fact the most dangerous animals on earth. Reptiles or other animals are much better then most humans.

There’s a bigger picture here. Where there is a war on anything that brings people happiness lying outside the scope of political agenda. (Pretty much everything normal people do) They (lawmakers representing billionaires) want anything that keeps our minds off them and their shitty ideals- gone. And theyll get rid of all our freedoms in the name of “safety” and “anti-hate” or “racism. “At least i’m safe in my white padded room with my safety jacket and the gov pays for the room :)” this is where fear mongering is taking us. So keep triple masking and shunning others cus they don’t believe in the “greater good” for trying to keep their doors open and survive. Clowns. Cus one day they’re coming for everything you love. (Then again, most of these people love/like what theyre told to and to stfu and oblige willingly) Selfish cowards who only care for their own safety in the name of “caring for others” are the true issue here. Just like the racist people who call everyone else “racist” if you disagree with them. The real virus is an ideological one and its irreparable damage

Brian, thank you for this! It's sad you had to, but thank you for reminding everyone to be kind to the committee members. The hobby sadly needs the reminders. Acting like a tough guy and being mean gets nowhere 🖤

It’s a good law, people who previously had animals in good conditions should be able to keep them, but the pet trade should die down a lot so that random people can no longer get random exotic animals

I don't think everyone should be able to keep things like anacondas and various other species, but honestly not everyone is fit to have a dog but they still have one and in reality a dog has more chance of doing you damage than a snake 🤔🐍😂

How do I email them

Hopefully the bill passes 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 and you only hate it cause u gonna loose customers..

I hope they don't take away my dangerous Leopard Gecko. That guy is wild

!!!!!REMEMBER EVERYONE IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU CAN HELP!!!!! copy and past

move here to Australia...............

Good we don't need any more reptile attacks

Oh know. We have to do something

Gun owners are going through the same s*** I'm a gun and reptile keeper I love both and I think it's a bunch of b******* that these sumbitches want to tell somebody what they can and can't not have it'll never happen watch

Probably democrats in congress and the house. They love regulations and big government. Fact. Im in NY and its a big blue state

If reptiles are banned then underground reptiles sales are gonna shoot up

If it helps in my country FedEx doesn’t allow live animal shipment so everyone uses trains to transport live animal so if FedEx closes you guys can use something like that.

Stupid bills trying to be pass. Banning these animals is not going to stop the invasive problem at all green iguanas became invasive in FL in the 1930s and it was due to cargo, not the pet trade. I live in FL and have a Colombian tegu so yes I get nervous about what will happen?
But with their logic, we might as well ban dogs and cats since they can give us diseases as well.
Cats are more of an issue we have a lot of stays that do more damage and on top of that people let their pet cats out during the day or night that contributes to the invasive problem because they can act invasive when let out until they get back home.
These banns are selective and discriminatory.

I live in England and still signed it 🤣

i know that there is bad things about this law but this could help?? has anyone ever gotten a new pet and they have come sadly with no life meee

Any animal that can breed?! As in EVERY animal?! Wtf?!?! Joining USARK today. This is ridiculous! 🤬

i just look at the bill and its for certain animals not all animals like you said maybe you should check what it is and depending on the animals i dont have a problem with it say some one ships a king brown snake you think the ups driver is trained to deal with venomous snakes if the container broke or it found its way out some how no so for their's and other peoples safety i think that would be perfectly fine as the bill only says postal service and dogs,cats and other large animals arent classed as mail they are a shipment im australian and 5 mins of looking this stuff up found out this maybe you should look it up before spreading lies

Dog, Cats, cows, horses, pigs all animals that can breed in Florida. That seems crazy?

I live in Oregon and our governor is all about making Oregonians miserable so im not surprised.

Is this just I'm America or world wide?

What if I live in europe?

So sad for all you shared in this video, I certainly will sign and call to stop this.

I thi k its better if therr are hobbyist, keepers and breeders. Since there are certain reptile species that are already extinct or endangered in the wild that they can only survive in captivity. Then if they are suitable once again to be released back to where they are originally from there is a chance to save certain species from extinction.

what’s next?! making dogs and cats illegal because there are some strays out there?!!

it’s like these politicians have NOTHING better to do than look for stupid rules to pass that will only cause massive harm and provide no good. especially with COVID and businesses hurting?! “nope, sorry pet stores, now your even more screwed.”

Don’t these senators or congressmen have anything better too do then worry about this silly stuff.

This is saying you can't have kids plus it is my dream to have a snake this Is shit

We will be donating the money from our normals to USARK! We are in Vancouver BC 🇨🇦

Ignorance in government is at an all time high it seems. Like Brian said it's not about invasiveness or anything else that is being used as an excuse. It's an agenda being used for personal gain, money, or other things. We need to stop this bs at stage 1 before it festers.

What? Why banning the reptiles as pets? Those stupids

Hey I noticed you were minding your own business so I added some government

"Anti-pet agenda" all apart of world econic forum "great reset" aka nwo aka agenda21/30 ..." By 2030 youll own nothing and be happy" world economic forum

Stop them know, this is what the democrats are doing trying to take all right from us. Frome this to taking our guns. Very important to stop them. You never get rights back.

We now have a new phobic petaphobics are coming stop them and one thing if the try this here they will be pissed about this I’ve been wanting a bearded dragon for the longest time if the law passes I’ll just sob for days and them bitches if the shut down cyoty Peterson’s career I’ll be pissed

That code sounds really unfair... Maybe Americans should show them or give them some docile and lovely snakes (like ball pythons) or turtles to prove them that reptiles are great pets! I have amazing time with turtles compared to my years keeping fish as pet..
I believe once those guys have their personal experience with reptiles... They would know how unfair it is...

Your the man. Very good points.

They had to bring in gorillas in some towns where tagus and lizards took over. Gorillas eat them.

So I was trying to do my part how to help stop the ban but I can't figure out what to do if you can give any info please let me know.......... oh and I think you should add Fire Salamanders to your collection

I don't have a pet snake but I did donate!! They tried to make me give up my 17 year old pet monkey years ago.

America home of destruction and zero conservation who ever voted for our current lunatic really didn't care about our country😂 gonna take my son here next weekend

I’m not giving up my animals they are my life and so are my guns so come and get em 😳

soo you say it's a problem if you can't ship an animal?? here i live, in Switzerland it's illegal... and the business continues well here.

Just the beginning

Have u seen how most people keep there snakes after some time they almost all get neglected
