So you think that they are not thriving in the wild?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.
Even if it was the case this bill would affect the trade of animals in this country and this country alone and while I could see implementing some limitations on imports (I do not believe in ban in any form or shape) additionally there will always be the European pet trade and the food trade in Asia it will not affect those.
The main animals that are really targeted (though for the gov is is always easier to ban everything rather than research and think) are thriving in the wild already.
Some special interests group are pushing this law and they could not care less about protecting those animals they just want to see them gone and this would only be a start.
This will mean no more snake shows, no more out of state trade, no more breeding. This will mean THE END of this industry and hobby all together simple as that whether you believe it or not.
One they stop this industry what make you think they will stop there and not make you surrender your animals to have them put down.
I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BILL or any part of it as it stands
And I also think you need to re-read that bill and understand it fully because you do not get the BIG PICTURE all you see for now is YOU and your ability to keep your 1 or 2 pet snakes.
