It's not even just the pet trade that gets screwed over either. All BIRDS and MAMMALS. So farms that both depend on shipping in new animals for fresh bloodlines and sending out meat/breeding stock out of state for revenue are done for. People have already been fleeing the state for its endless flood of horrendous decisions, but this one in particular just might make the place an absolute ghost town if it slips through.

Let us hope that enough people get involved to stop this before it comes to that. Because eventually, we are going to run out of states to flee to if we don't start stopping these bills. Once in a blue moon bills can get undone, but it's a lot harder to repeal a bill than stop it to begin with.
