Joe,

We can still be regulated w/o BS regulations that are horrible and serve NO purpose. We can not support the "White List" in ANY way. We need to be acting to get it thrown out right now. I know many turtle breeders that are preparing to litigate. They are being FORCED to sell their collection. That is BS. If all the alterna nuts were being asked to get down to a possesion limit of 6 I am sure you, Troy and everyone else would be raising holy hell. Further, protecting common as dirt species like the Leopard Frog and the Cricket Frog just for the sake of regulation is wrong. The NRA battles EVERY regulation that comes up against them whether it is good or bad. This regulation is bad and horribly wrong. We need to be sending letters to all the commissioners and Matt Wagner and company telling them what a horrible decission they made.

All you have to do is regulate ALL commercial collection and place bag limits on wild caught turtle species of concern. And then they need to show us the data! Their excuse about needing to get studies done to determine impacts will never happen. All this is only going to keep snow balling and snow balling until we can't keep a en kitty cat.

The "White List" is a bad regulation. If you want me to send around your wonderfully designed webpage then I need that statement of support for the "White List" taken OUT.
