Hopefully you know and realize that the HSUS animal rights (AR) groups and the crooked politicians that are inspired by them that are pushing for many of these laws and legislation from behind the scenes are masters of deceiving both the public and legislators and will resort to using "back door" approaches in order to get their agenda passed in the end. I have seen and heard of them doing this many times, not only with reptile legislation. If they cannot ban something outright, they will try to make that given activity more expensive and costly to continue to engage in. This is what they have been doing with their meat ballot initiatives in some states such as Florida and Arizona, ultimately driving up the cost of meat. Legislation may seem "good" at face value, but oftentimes, the devil is in the details...
