UPDATE: HR2811 Amendment

[Russ Lawson]

not until September... at the earliest.




This doesn't spell the end of the Burm or Af. Rock right now. It won't until the President puts his OBAMA on it...hehe. That will be a WHILE from now. In the article it states that USARK is going to work on ammending the bill further to only ban the importation of WC Burms and Af. Rocks. We shall see where it goes from here....

Even if it was reduced to WC Burms and Afrocks, there is still ZERO benefit to this if it becomes law. I suggest our stance from here on out to be that this undermines the provisions set by the Lacey Act, and that it should be thrown out entirely and those provisions should be followed. That is all they should have the right to do, and this should not be an issue we have to compromise on no matter how many animal rights activists and environmentalists whine and moan about it.
