All,
The Center for Biological Diversity is trying to shut down commercial harvest in many states. This, of course, is unacceptable because all species have bag limits and bans are wrong. They are pushing a radical agenda. Add in the scare pushers, academia, and we could have all kinds of bans. We have to get a handle on all this banning agenda and fast. I hope USARK and PIJAC are working on this, in addition to their already full agenda of stopping the bans Andrew mentions above. If we don't, turtle breeders and collectors will be grouped in with the food turtle folks and they will be out of business like they are here in Texas. Not to mention having their freedoms taken away that are guaranteed under the Constitution. All because regulatory agencies don't want to do their jobs. Do you know why the Animal Rights movement does not go Federal with their banning agenda? Because there are Constitutionality questions. That is why they push at the state level. I urge all herpers everywhere to join USARK and PIJAC, now!
