HR 2811 live feed?

yes I herd that. And he was from the fish and game service so he should be able to tell a difference in some snake species

Anyone know if this is archived someplace? Only saw about 5 minutes and would like to see the whole thing.

In regards to the comment about kids being eaten by Burms....

SERIOUSLY. Why aren't the committee members asking for proof?! Why do people just blindly believe what is told them???? ARGH. I think the last shreds of faith in humanity I have are vanishing.

Even though i am way up in Canada i watched the live feed and noticed a few things .
1. they talked too much about Florida this bill will harm the trade in other states. EX. Washington state sells to New York state.
2. there was no comparison made for other dangerous animals.
3. maybe start fighting fire with fire send them a couple of hundred thousand requests that the common cat and dog should be listed as injurious in the Lacey act based on real actual deaths and injuries that outnumber the problem with snakes 100's to one. Complete with graphic pictures.
4. There are hundreds of other species that would feed on the same list of wildlife that was spoken of , monitors, cats for example.
5. Send these bozo's a ton of pictures depicting the decimation of red listed animals by other species that would never be listed like the house cat.

Something I've been wondering about: when they say "boa constrictor," what are they actually meaning? It's obvious that these people don't understand what a "genus" is versus "species," so I don't trust them to know that "boa constrictor" (or just "boa") is the genus and includes several species and subspecies. There are many other snakes that are commonly called "boas," such as Rainbow, Tree, etc. Are all snakes called "boas" included?

THIS NEEDS to be brought up at the next hearing.

This is SUCH an important fact. One that could be SO devastating. They get one leg on this and they will go for blood. NONE of this can pass.

I'd also like to remind folks, that not only are your individual voices important in making calls and calling in faxes, but your monetary donations to both USARK and Pijac are equally important.

Can you imagine what would or could have happend if we didn't have both of these groups actively monitoring and lobbying in the halls of Congress?

Donate what you can - but please donate to help keep both of them funded!

So what was the outcome? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!
