Hr 2811

After seeing the info on kingsnake about the hearing ( posted in this thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=94978), I went to nohr669.com to see if there was any additional or different information there. There is nothing there (yet) about the hearing, but I found this instead:

HR 2811 is a bill introduced to the house of representatives that is close to, if not exactly the same as, S 373, and is attempting to get ALL species of python declared injurious.

Here is more info about it:

Why? Why does the government try to stick their noses into issues they know nothing about? Why are they trying to ban ALL pythons when only one or two species pose a possible threat to humans and the environment? Why lump every single python together because of issues that are isolated to a species and a state? How can we stop their ingnorance and stupidity about pythons?

Simple, it's called a Special Interest Group
