Look out VA -another new exotic law

[swansonbb]

I saw this on Fauna today. Maybe I missed this, but how is this not being discussed? I joined the new USARK and have heard nothing from them since. How about a little communication? I'll contact them via e-mail - YOU SHOULD TOO!

Changes in NY, CT, VA ... all at the same time? How can this be anything but a concerted effort from USUS? Surely this isn't the top legislative priority for all of these states. If you haven't yet joined USARK, do it. Now. Your state is next.

The way I read that humans can b sold,bought breed and held in captivity!

"3. Order Primates: all species and hybrids of apes, galagos, lemurs, lorises, and monkeys, excluding humans."

You can't breed, sell or keep Carpets but good thing they are excluding humans.

I haven't heard anything about this.

On an USARK related topic, I wonder if they can produce a list of supporters/members. Maybe a searchable database on their website. That way I can make sure I only make reptile-related acquisitions from those who support the cause.

Now the real questions.
Is it better to keep humans in racks or cages?
Can you house more than one human per cage?

I would say racks(basically what apartments are lol) humans enjoy their privacy.
I would say durning breeding season throw a couple male humans together have them fight a little over a nice fertile female. Then throw the male in with that big ole female's apartment.

Am I reading this wrong or are they planning on including python regius in this ban?

Edit- No, no I'm not......
