Dreams of breeding ball pythons? Kiss them goodbye.

the thing is, if this law is passed, nothing is stopping them from putting ANY animal on the list. it doesnt just stop with our reptiles. if they want, there is nothing stopping them from taking away our birds, gerbils, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits.. even "dangerous" dog breeds like pitbulls, rottweilers, chows, bull dogs.. pitbulls are already banned in a lot of places, but if added to the Lacey Act list and you want to move somewhere with your family and pittie, it's either get rid of your dog or commit a felony.

i know people have heard this before a thousand times ("they'll eventually come after our dogs"), but there were laws put into place to make sure the animals on the Lacey Act had (at least somewhat) justifiable reason to be on it. if this passes, the government doesn't have to give any reason to add another animal to it. they just will. we are slowly being stripped of our rights. not our privileges, but our RIGHTS to keep our pets. this is how they do it, they dont take them all at once, because that would cause uproar. they do it little by little and as secretly as possible.
