We knew this was coming.

I highly recommend you read this bill. Join USARK and/or PIJAC.

This bill says you can legally possess an animal included on the list if you're grandfathered in, but you can't propogate that species, even if for personal use.

According to 4b1B - The burmese python COULD be allowed because the burmese python is already established in the Everglades and that is the only place it could potentially establish itself, so where is the risk? Obviously I'm being sarcastic, but if you really think about it, it's true!

Section 9 - nonmailable matter. Obviously anything listed in this bill would be deemed illegal to mail.

As the government normally does, they've disguised limiting personal rights as a benefit to the American people. Who wouldn't support a bill entitled:
Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act

They are preventing DANGEROUS, WILD animals from INVADING the United States and KILLING US ALL!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

My one hope is that, for the government to actually sit down and go animal by animal, it would take a loooooong time to actually complete a list. But I can see them doing that.

The humane society is ALL OVER THIS!

Time for action! Again, JOIN USARK and/or PIJAC!!!
