    Re: WARNING - BAN ON BOAS & PYTHONS!! - HR6311 Reintroduced as HR669

    I agree that yes we need regulation. BUT. The problem with bills like this is that it starts small and then gives them a foot in the door to eventually completely ban our animals.

    There was recently a bill proposed in PA to ban nanday conures and some other exotics. I don't own a nanday, nor do I live in PA, but I still wrote and fought the proposal. Why? Because today it's nandays in PA, but given a foothold tomorrow it might be a species I do have and in my state.

    When they propose something with some genuine thought behind it that will actually benefit the hobby and not hurt it, THEN I'll support it. But until then, I guess I'm just another "sheep on the bandwagon".
