After reading the details of this bill, In my opion this is a most of a good thing. This bill wont ban reptiles has a whole, but limt the Importation of nonnative wildlife. Sec 6>a>6 states that any nonative wildlife that is already owned before H.R. 669 may pass is ok to have. There is a part of the bill that makes me uncomfortable and angry and thats Sec 6>a>4 which will ban the breeding of nonnative wildlife.
I also believe this bill will help rid the pet trade of those out there taking advantage of nonnative wildlife and the collectors who are just trying to make a $$$$.
I love my reptiles and my trade as much as anyone eles here, but i would be more then happy to give it all up to help see them thrive in the wild. I think H.R. 669 will help do so.
With all this being said, I would like to discuss and hear your opions. Iam not tring to start any DRAMA here so please keep the slaming to a limt![]()
