    Actually amphibians are far more likely to make their ban list than a lot of animals in an attempt to halt chytridiomycosis. Not that doing so would actually help, but they'll use it as an excuse.

    just like reptiles are creating a salmonella epidemic? should we ban eggs in the grocery stores too? people get salmonella from them much more than our scaly friends.

    Or raw chicken. Let's ban that in case you cross contaminate or don't wash your hands...
    I feel like we have less of a government and more of authoritarian baby-sitters.

    the gov doesn't want the best for us. they let Obama stand up there and lie to millions of people while bombing innocent children in other countries. 9/11 was our own gov, idk why people still care about a signature on a piece of paper. we are still going to find a way to have the animals we love

    Sadly enough, this is only one of many things our gov thinks they can do without restriction or oversight. GMOs, drones, project mockingbird, operation earnest voice, chemtrails, marshal law, etc. The sooner everyone realizes money isn't what makes the world go round, the better. Animals keep me closest to nature, I will never give mine up for a rich butthole who wants us more suppressed!

    I've had several that agree with the proposed rule change. One refused because it wasn't being covered by unbiased sources.

    I typed out a personal letter. How many do I print out, who do I send it to? I know my congressman and state representative... any one else?

    9/11 was caused by terrorism; however, the same terrorist who did it were released from federal prison several years earlier. In essence, the government, courtesy of Pres. Bill Clinton, let it happen.
    As far as children go, some of the kids themselves are the terrorist and suicide bombers. Don't be fooled by age; war is war and is the only way to keep incidents like 9/11 and the United States-Libyan Embassy from happening again. It's a large-scale schoolyard playground out there; if we don't stand up for ourselves, we'll be pushed around, albeit in the form of terrorism or domination from other countries. Not everyone wants to make this world a better place, because a lot of people want it to become a worst place.

    OffTopic: 9/11 was our own government. why else would they lie about everything? you respond with words that were fed to you by, yes, your government. don't be fooled by those who are in power. not just children, but a number of innocent families have been droned in other countries by our gov for the "search of WMDs" when indeed they have found none. all life is valuable and we should be mature enough to know that standing up for ourselves doesn't mean going around and killing for profit in the name of peace. do some more research, before you are going to defend something you have seen on mainstream outlets. 9/11 happened so you would feel like there is a need for war. America is the terrorists. and being brainwashed by the people who are in power. there is a force working out there to make this an unpleasant place, while there are actually some people trying to make it better.
