    The deadline is tomorrow at noon, less than 12 hours away. I sent in my comments to the board and also my elected officials.

    From the latest USARK update at https://mailchi.mp/usark/sac-ny-wv-2019 :

    UPDATE: West Virginia
    Thanks to an outpouring of opposition and education, the WV DWA Board has withdrawn the proposed amendments to the Dangerous Wild Animals Act from consideration. Thank you to all of those who supported our efforts to stop these additions to the State's Dangerous Wild Animal list.

    Not even. Thankfully the DWA Board can't simply change the list on a whim, they must make recommendations to our state legislators, who vote on the changes during the next legislative session. The DWA Board simply took the first step in a multi-step process.

    Since many of us who responded also CC'ed our elected officials in our emails, I suspect that had an effect as well. Next year is a big election year for the state and our legislators really don't want to deal with anything too controversial.

    HB 4678 was introduced yesterday in the WV House. It's a start at getting rid of the DWA. Please get in touch with your state legiscritters and ask them to support it.
