As far as I know there aren't may huge breeder in Connecticut though, so as far as that is concerned, we're not losing a BHB or a NERD.
You are totally wrong.

Thousands of responsible exotic owners just got screwed and their pets just got sentenced to death.

........and how does not losing a big breeder consititute an acceptable intrusion onto our rights? When did you and I become expendable so that Kevin and Brian can live to fight another day?

It affects everyone who owns an exotic pet. It shows just how easy it is to quickly and almost secretly enact legislation that can take away your rights and freedoms.

It also shows how unorganized and ineffective this community is. How many of you even bother to check your state senate and assembly websites for bills of this type coming down the pipe?

The State of Connecticut just encated a poorly written piece of legislation that not only denies exotic pet owners of their rights but sentences an untold number of animals to death.

It also grants immense power to the "commisioner" to add species to the list as he sees fit. It also provides a model and an example for advocates of this type of garbage in other states to follow.

It stinks and it has a huge affect on everyone in this community.
