The sinister special interest know that if they word the bill as to actually take something from your possession that it would stand a lesser chance of passing and would most certainly draw more attention.

Their goal will be to make it illegal for us to import, transport, breed, and ultimately sell any animals. Make no mistake if this passes it will not be long before we will have to register, and probably pay taxes and fees to keep them, you see in the end that is what will make our representatives look at this bill, for more ways to TAX!!

Here is an example of how socialized law makers work: I think it is safe to say that they know that they can't take our guns away (not without a national tragedy) so what is being proposed:

Step 1. serial # on all ammunition sold to us buy July of this year, this is already on the books.

Step 2. It will be illegal by the year 2011 for anyone to own non-serialized ammo...that is part of the proposal.

Step 3. Reloading ammunition will be illegal, thus driving the cost up. After all that is accomplished the price to buy ammo will be driven up so high that we won't be able to afford to shoot guns for any reason, at least within the confines of the law. (this third step is just my opinion)

To tie this all in to our hobby if the bill passes it will become an open invitation for them to tax us, they are like parasites they will not want to get rid of us all together because then they can not feed off the host. As for the special interest groups The humane society and certain environmentalist, they would like nothing better than to see our hobby/business gone forever.
