Re: 2010 Legislation So Far
[QUOTE=Eventide;1250366]Just because it's a law that restricts ownership/breeding/selling of reptiles/amphibians doesn't mean it's automatically bad..../QUOTE]
I'd have to disagree with part of your point here, some of the bans/restrictions may be in order, but then there are other species added to those lists that i don't feel should be there, Here is the new bill that they are going to try to pass in my state.
Rhode Island- S2027- Bans alligators, crocodiles, pythons, and boa constrictors. Ownership shall be punishable by a fine of not less than one thousand dollars ($1000)

now i can't say i'm against regulating the Gators and Crocs, but then they add the pythons and boas, and it says nothing about what species of python or boa, so i would assume they mean any of them... including a Ball python, i have a serious problem with that. Again it's just a way for them (Government/congress/special interest groups) to take away rights and over regulate. I just don't get it really, what ever happend to live and let live.
I just hope everyone that visits and enjoys these forums will do there part too keep them going and write their respective State Reps, because if these laws are passed, we are all going to have to find somthing else to do, because there will be no need for these forums, it makes me sad because i just found this place and i've fallen head over feet for it.
sorry still not sure how the quote thing works exactly.
