All of us in IL are doing what we can. Scott Smith is talking with Andrew Wyatt and they will be keeping us informed as to what we need to do in Springfield to stop this.

Until then, we ask that EVERYONE please sign our petition and share it everywhere that you can. Forums, Facebook, etc. Even out of state help is much appreciated!! This is one of the most outrageous bills I've seen thus far. Help us squash it!!

signed and shared. I hope this petition works better than the others so far.

Signed - That's absolutely absurd. ><

Yeah right? Those evil dangerous toads! Omg! And how about the prairie dogs! It's nuts! Then there's the part where they can add any animal they deem dangerous at any time?

Look at the list! All boas, pythons, all monitor lizards, etc.. This one takes the cake!

[Xotik]

Yeah, cause my hamster is gonna maul your face off. Right.

"Mammal" people are gonna drive me batty.

The Tinley Park expo is one of the largest in the country.

It is crazy this going on in IL.

Maybe this is a good place to end this once and for all. Time to fight hard for our rights/hobby, etc...

[WarriorPrincess90]

The IL ban is utterly ridiculous. I signed. Hopefully it can be stopped. This craziness that is spreading across the US like wildfire needs to stop.

I don't understand why all of a sudden elected officials are trying to ban everything. I could be mistaken, but isn't there a crumbling economy and potential second credit downgrading on the way? But of course that doesn't apply to people not working in the private sector, so why worry about it?

[Foschi Exotic Serpents]

I know. Plus Scott Smiths AAE is twice a month. There are other things going on here pretty regularly also. We also have a lot of reptile stores. If this passes, these animals would no longer be allowed in public. All these things would go bye bye. It would be a disaster.

A $250 permit PER animal PLUS $100.000 liability insurance PER animal?? For something you can never take out of your house.

[Jason Bowden]

I couldn't afford a $250 annual fee for each snake. The reptile industry/hobby will end.
Never did trust/like politicians ,but who came up with this craziness? Very bad for the economy and down right UNamerican!
