Heads Up Illinois Residents (and everybody else)
This pretty much explains it >>>>http://usherp.org/2013/04/25/action-...the-il-senate/
Please contact the representatives provided in the article, even if you are not an Illinois resident. The more that oppose the amendment, the better.
Re: Heads Up Illinois Residents (and everybody else)
I sent messages to the representatives. They really seem to be trying to get rid of all our businesses in Il, huh? :(

I'm confused why USHA would want this approved? Or I'm not reading that correctly. Why would anybody need a permit to own a ball python? It's still regulation; that's what we're fighting.

"HSUS is seeking to ban the breeding of all pythons, boas and anacondas entirely in Illinois." (including ball pythons)
...why? what exactly will this accomplish?

My question exactly.
Also, the way I read the current law, are permits already required for Ball Pythons in Illinois, because someone I know might already be breaking the law...

Any time you read "HSUS," feel free to interchange it with "PETA." Same people essentially.

No it isn't. You give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
According to the meaning of the term 'constrictor,' that means permits will be required even for corn and king snakes. So unless you're keeping garter snakes, you'll need a permit.

Im not against permits for large pythons and venomous. Permits can be ok if they are regulated fairly and not used as a means to ban something. I was however pointing out its hsus that wants to add the permit thing for all constrictors not usha as it looked like you said in your last post.

...voice your support of SB 2362 Amendment 3 without further changes.
That's what the USHA thinks of the permit system- they support it. I sure as hell don't. What are they thinking? Why in Posiedon's name would anyone need a permit to keep a ball python or a dwarf Antaresia python? Even children keep them as pets without a problem!
Now this is where you seem a bit confused.

Now while I clearly don't agree with side 2 as shown right above, I don't agree with side 1 either. We don't make it difficult on hamster or dog owners; why make it hard on their reptilian counterparts? I'd prefer it if we tried to achieve nationally like we did in Wilson county. And that's because good enough is not good enough.
