Re: Newest email from USARK- Python ban moves forward

Boa constrictors are on there too, though it doesn't say specifically if they're referring to all subspecies of boa constrictor or anything that's a boa that constricts. They need to list all species and subspecies in these bills instead of being stupidly vague.
Ok this sounds bad, who is on the side of this community? What about "big shots" like Jeff Corwin, Nigel what's-his-name and the rest of the Animal Planet crew? Are these fellas even remotely involved with the support of this bill or against?
