I have to admit, that as a burm owner myself I'm less then pleased that this bill wasn't just shot down completely. However, the realist in me understands that those who take an 'all or nothing' stance against such things had better be prepared to settle for 'nothing' And personally I'm not willing to settle for that.

I only hope that USARK can somehow help lawmakers work out a plan to allow interstate movement of captive bred individuals of these two species.
