What types of legislation are you guys thinking about?



The problem I see with "compromise legislation" to counter HR669-type bills that make no logical sense in the first place is that we (ie, all reptile owners) can just as easily be the target of other groups (ie, furry animal and bird owners) with their compromise legislation. The entire non-native pet industry/community needs to stand as one, if that's even possible.



Also, given the obvious goal of the forces behind the legislation is to ban reptile ownership completely, "compromise legislation" will, at best, simply delay further proposed anti-ownership legislation for a few years.



Thanks,

>>If we do not start to introduce some bills of our owen this will be a never ending story. We will always be on the run and in the shadow od laws being made against us.

>>As for some doing it legal, it is hard to stay legal when they are making it all illegal. A lot of the law is not correct or fair not even to help the species they say they make these laws for. I have seen things go extinct even in protected parks due to lack of management. Why take captive breeding out of the hands of the public? They do not have the time, man power or money to do it all themselves.

>>They should not take the word of animal activist groups that are really large companies that make millions off of scare tactics and making people think all animals are being abused if they are in captivity. These people if they get what they want will cause millions of animals to die. They need to be exposed for the unrealistic flakes they are. Eric
