As far as the Eureka deal, that seems way over the top. I mean the NY ban was a big deal and I thought that it was outrageous, but this one seems targeted like they have a purpose in mind they're not talking about. What harm could having a ton of feeders possibly have? I've got probably thousands of dubias sitting behind me, safe in their bins, and I promise none of my neighbors know or care about them.
As to the first part- it's been apparently happening, actually- legislation after distractions ("look over there!") but I don't want to get into politics here...it's not a "conspiracy" theory either, just more of an observation- putting 2 & 2 together. It's why we always need to pay attention to news. I know I haven't always done so either, certainly not when I was working full-time- between work & all my animals, news wasn't my focus, exhaustion was, lol. I know better now. It also might not be about passing a law, but in some cases distracting from a scandal.
Feeders of all kinds...I agree, who cares? I don't understand where any of that is coming from. I just truly hope they can get it stopped. I used to raise my own mealworms too, when I kept geckos...gosh, that could be a big-time crime now, eh?
