Is a bird lover, but I think that all of us in this reptile community can appreciate how the sponsors feel about introduced fauna that damages the ecosystem.

What bothers me is shoot from the hip reaction that will punish the responsible keepers/breeders, and it still will not fix the problem. I have to believe that the very people that would dump an animal in the wild would be the same person who would break the law and obtain one on the black market.

The problem is with the owners of these animals not the animals themselves, but we will have a hard time convincing them of that.

Guam was/is an ecological disaster and will most likely be a source for them making their argument to pass the bill.

We need to be heard on this one.

Be well.
Joel
