I Approve of Most of H.R. 669

[Jerhart]

sorry guys.. but even Congressmen who don't live normal everyday working lives like most of us know that there are thousands of pet stores in this country. Most of them are not stupid enough to make hundreds of thousands MORE people unemployed. This bill passes. all pet stores are gone. I understand the seriousness of this bill.. I just know that it wont pass, so I'm not losing sleep over it.

....bars and restaurants were probably aware that they would lose some business if they banned smoking inside.....didn't stop them from banning it.

Well for most of US who live in the REAL WORLD and do not underestimate lobbyists this bill is VERY REAL and this is why we are standing up against it.

Keep the “I am not worry it won’t happen” attitude and do nothing about it and you will be in for a big surprise if that bill pass.

I just can't for the life of me understand why it's so much easier for people to stand so firm and willful about doing absolutely nothing than it is to send an email.

Everyone in the United States has a voice if they choose to use it ... there are people on this planet that don't have the right to participate in their government and would literally kill for the chance to express their passions to people represented to give them a voice in a democracy like ours.

It's one email ... one minute out of your life ... whether you believe the bill will go anywhere or not, why wouldn't you want to stand up and yell for what you believe in? If for no other reason that just because you can ... you can because men and women have died to give you that right and because our soldiers right now are patrolling cities, villages, skies, and oceans protecting that right.

Just sayin.

Cool, then we don't have anything to worry about then..woo hoo!
Oh, wait a minute.........
ya know if would not be the first time that the Government did something that didn't make much sense or was not for the greater good of our Country. Many people probably honestly don't see what the big deal is about all of this. Many people have never had a pet and never plan too. They may not actually see the damage that something like this would immediately cause or think about how many people make a living from their love of animals.

A know alot may get upset about this post but I'm posting anyway. I am doing my part to help in the stance of it not passing.

But anyway, if this bill does pass. What the reptile community should do is release your reptile into the wild. If they want to screw us then screw them. We will make our reptiles Native in the United States.

If we don't release them into the wild, what are the the people with 20, 60, 100, 1000 and 5000 reptiles suppose to do with them. If they take away the hobby, how will we feed these animals without the income. Let me guess there going to want us to kill them all. Release them and let them try to thrive in the wild.

Wow....this is the worst idea I have heard in a LONG time. Sorry. But intentionally trying to ruin our native ecology WILL have a direct negative effect on our every day life...


...plus you are just killing your animals. You really think a python will thrive in anywhere but those subtropical/arid climates?

That's just the kind of mentality that we DON'T need. You forget that the bottom line is we actually do love and appreciate nature and the order of things.

My snakes won't thrive here, they will die real fast outside. I don't think thats what we should do. I just went ahead and e-mailed some government folks and let them know that the bill is a terrible idea.

you have any other bright idea like that one if so do us a favor keep them to yourself.

That is one of the most irresponsible thing I ever heard, and people wonder why we have a bad reputation

[Dizzlen07]

I knew many wouldn't agree but no big deal. But answer this.

Say you have 50 plus ball pythons and make an average income with your full time job. How do you feed these ball pythons if this bill passes.

What do the full time breeders do if this passes?

And I should have phrased that alittle better. I'm not talking about huge snakes that do pose a threat to wildlife but smaller snakes/lizards.
