USDA seeks change to regulate Internet and retail pet sales

[Jabberwocky Dragons]

Reptiles have always been exempt from USDA licensing, so is there any reason to think this would change that?

Burmese Pythons, African Rock Pythons, and Yellow Anacondas have always been exempt from Lacy Act requirements (236 years exempt to be exact), any reason to think that would have been changed a few months ago? The very common boa constrictors and 4 other species would have joined them in illegality if USARK and others had not fought so hard. Some people do not want exotic pet ownership to exist and over regulation is one of the best ways to stifle and eventually eliminate any form of commerce. The USDA, like the Lacey Act, is just another tool in the gov't toolbox. The Gibson Guitar company is a prime example of commerce suppression through over-regulation and their story provides a very possibly real glimpse into exotic animal keepers' futures.
