Yes, I was also hoping to hear from him. He may be resting.Fergrim said:update on kellys status? :/ /worried/
Now thats one shitty way of wage war! Though a quite good one. ;Ppandinus said:he has a point, but i disagree that the press may not run with it. if he claims it was in a suitcase like suggested, we may get a headlines like "NEW DEVELOPEMENTS IN THE WAR ON TERROR! SCORPIONS PLANTED IN SUITCASES!", or "TERRORISTS WAGE WAR WITH DEADLY ARACHNIDS!!! HOMELAND SECURITY INCREASES TO CODE MAUVE!"
Legislation is never the answer, signing a waiver would work however. If they banned them, I would break the law.fusion121 said:I think you have to question whether regulation is a good thing or a bad thing. The blanket restriction on buthids is a tad annoying, in the UK DWA legislation, however all other scorpions can be kept. Personally I don't have any big beef with it, if you know your a responsible and knowledgeable keeper you should be confident enough to know you'd be given a license if they were introduced (a total ban would not be the course of action taken).
I don't think theres any need to cover up, the press have better things to worry about then a keeper being stung by one of their pets, at most it would a quirky story on one of the back pages. Furthermore some scorpions are very dangerous animals, it seems logical to regulate the selling of at least some species. It worries me when I see posts on line saying " I got my first emp a month ago, now I think ill go for a L.Q.", generally in barely comprehensible grammar. While as a keeper I might find legislation annoying, I understand the need for it, especially in somewhere like the US where dangerous species are far more easily obtainable then here in Europe.
