Send this to all your friends.
Heres a sample email I wrote and sent to everyone I know. Feel free to copy and paste this so all your contacts are informed too.
www.nohr669.com
This is about the bill HR669 which on the surface proposes to stop all non-native wildlife from being imported via the pet trade to stop the impact on our native species.
BUT!!! This bill will end all pet ownership as we know it. It will single handedly collapse the pet industry and take with it millions of jobs and billions of dollars. If you own reptiles or amphibians (snakes, lizards, frogs, salamander), if you own rodents (RATS, gerbils, guinea pigs, ect.), if you own FISH (yes even fish, tropical, fresh water, even betas), invertebrates, essentially everything but cats and dogs (and don't think they won't be next) will be banned. You will not be able to move out of state with your pets, you can't sell, buy, breed, .....anything. If your kid has two hamsters and they accidentally have babies you'd be in violation of the law, and your pets would be subject to confiscation and termination. The economy will take a huge blow because pet-stores will no longer be able to stay in business, large chains like Petco will fall but so will every privately owned stores, breeders, and suppliers.
Please don't ignore it. Many people believe that this bill has little to no chance of passing. But if we all turn our backs and ignore it then it's chances increase. I want to see it's chances squashed to zero. I love my pets. I grew up with pets, it's part of the american way of life. This bill is not the way to keep our wildlife safe, it's a extremist proposition being pushed by special interest groups against all pets!
Help us stop it. Go here: www.nohr669.com Watch the video. It's short and if you still don't want to do something you don't have to. but it's easy and quick. Why wouldn't you protect your right to own pets?
Thank you,
P.S. Please send this email to everyone you know who owns pets and/or loves animals, they deserve to know.
