Hey, I just got this update from Melissa Amarello with Advocates for Snake Preservation (ASP)*-

Howdy y'all,
I have good news from Louisiana: The wildlife commission voted to adopt the amendments, which include the ban on wildlife-killing contests that target amphibians and reptiles. They’re now headed to the state legislature, who has 30 days to act. Not done yet, but as our partner in Louisiana said “a huge hurdle was overcome,” and we’re one big step closer to ending the Lake Providence Snake Rodeo!
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who submitted comments in support of these amendments — clearly our voices were heard!
