    Your urgent help is needed!

    Bp.Net ... we had a little bit of a set back in Washington ... the other side is feeling the heat and striking back!

    Please read http://www.nohr669.com/hotitem.htm and take action now!

    If you've only sent one email through www.nohr669.com, go back and send another ... and another.

    This is as serious as it gets! They are after us and the animals that we love!

    I can't express enough thanks for all of the help we've gotten so far but we have to ask for more.

    5 more days to either change the world or have our world changed forever.

    Please help .... now!

    Re: Your urgent help is needed!

    Why hasn't this reached a National level?? Surely many congressman and congresswomen have pets, too?? I've watched enough news these days and have yet to see anyone mention this bill. Even our local petstore is clueless. Am I missing something?

    Alot of people don't realize that if the bill passes, pet hamsters, gerbils and all that comes to a stop.

    Re: Your urgent help is needed!

    To my understanding, if the bill passes, the government will take our animals away and either export them or kill them at our expense. Is this correct?

    Re: Your urgent help is needed!

    I don't believe our current pets are part of that. I don't see them trying to take our animals away that we already have established with us. Then I don't see some of us giving up our animals even if that were to hold true, NOBODY is taking my pets I have established here, PERIOD.

    Re: Your urgent help is needed!

    I'd like to know how they plan to implement this bill. Where is the money going to come from? Who's going to pay for the staff needed to retrieve any illegal animals? Are they going to go door to door to people's houses? With the econmomy tanking, are they seriously going to take the risk of putting pet stores out of operation and contributing this countries already increasing unemployment? Secondly, when they announce this bill (if it passess) The outcry then, I think, will be immense. Don't get me wrong, I've done my part and will continue to do more. This is just another reason, I HATE big government!

    You've got to be kidding me. Great to hear our voice is being heard. But this isnt just about "pets"! This is also about the economic impact this is going to have on our nation and the citizens taht are going to go bankrupt if this passes! Obviously another cas of Washington just not getting it. There's something more to this I just know it.

    Umm. We already know that, anybody who reads the bill knows that, but people like me are rather concerned about our pets also.

    No. I think you're confused with the bill that was passed in Connecticut.

    This bill has a grandfather clause but unfortunately we will not be able to buy or breed the rodents required to feed our snakes. So they would eventually wither away and die of starvation.
