    First, as far as the additions to the Lacey Act - there is nothing to "pass". How are people so turned around on this subject? Have any of you taken the time to read as to what the USFWS did or how they did it?

    Second, do you think 25,000 signatures is significant?

    I call it pathetic. If the Reptile Nation has a claimed 7.3 Million reptile keepers, all 25,000 signatures shows is that you got a whopping 0.003% to sign a worthless petition.

    It also shows weakness. Don't think that people who wish to impose actual legislation banning reptiles state by state will note such a small turnout.

    The amendments to the Lacey Act have to be fought in court. You people need to stop thinking that there is going to be a "vote" on this thing. It's a waste of time and energy. If you want to fight, fight intelligently and FOCUS your efforts on actions that are going to amount to more than a futile and laughable gesture.
