You're right, I committed the error of lumping a bunch of regulatory bodies together. I was referring to them collectively, which isn't really fair in this instance.

The cat thing I mentioned is less about feral and more about pet cats. There just seems to be a mindset amongst owners that Fluffy should be purr-fectly free to slaughter little furred, feathered, or scaled creatures to be presented as gifts. In a purr-fect world, immediate threats like this would get more attention.

Sadly, I am well aware of the difficulty in making the case stick. Average Joe or Jane lawmaker would probably not see the merits of stopping the spread of a cute basking turtle. But, saving the South from big snakes...well, I already read about that in USA Today.

I have not been following the bill's progress. But, I have to say, I think it is going to win. The fact that burms are in the everglades will be enough, I suspect, to convince the necessary people.

By the way, Steph, I think you were right to question things. And my suggestion about posting your questions in the legal forum are not meant to imply that they shouldn't have been brought up here. Frankly, I don't know why the topic is in the box turtle forum.
