I cannot stress enough how important it is that each and every one of us makes these calls and faxes EVERY SINGLE DAY next week up until Thursday. Let's let them come in on Monday to fax machines that are out of paper.

This is particularly frightening and should encourage EACH of us to take action and take action swiftly:

In addition committee staff agreed in principle to further amend the bill to allow the captive bred trade in these two snakes to continue. To date this promise has not been kept and the HR2811 has not been amended to allow for captive bred trade.
The Humane Society of the United States is lobbying hard to have HR2811 amended to include the entire genus python, as well as the four species of anaconda, and Boa Constrictor referred to in the USGS report. Do not assume that HSUS will not be successful in getting HR2811 amended to reflect these changes. Only USARK and the Reptile Nation stand between HSUS and the destruction of our community.
