There was a quick statement that of the animals already in the US, approximately 10% more or less would be considered as invasive.

I am unable to watch and am pacing the house. Can someone take a guesstimate on what percent oppose/approve?

The guy who first off stated he was no scientist was horrible. the guy now is good.

That was Marshall Meyers of Pijac.

They're mainly worried about fish and snails and clams and crap. But this bill would "blanket" ALL species. I have a feeling it will pass, but not without MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE rewording.

I have a feeling it will pass

that hurt my guts...

[ivylea77]

I agree, I think it will pass, but it'll require lots of work.

[ubecrew610]

so do you think they will skip over the reptiles? or make ever animal require a permit?

[2kdime]

They aren't gonna skip CRAP!

But I think what they will do, is instead of banning and then putting an animal on an approved list. They will have to prove why it needs to be banned.
