Hey Ed,

I don't know. What types of legislation are there? I don't have specifics. Marshall Meyers states in a PIJAC statment (posted somewhere below opposing HR 669) that there are issues with the Lacey Act listing system. So, what are the issues? What are the concerns? Once we know what they are we design legislation that addresses the issues and concerns, and protects our rights. If laws and regs are already on the books then that is the answer. If the issues or concerns are AR agenda then we stand up for our rights and try and expose their ridiculous agenda.

It would be great to pass laws guaranteeing our rights to keep what we want. I don't have specifics at this time but if they can propose laws to take our rights away, we should be able to propose laws that gives us the specific right to keep herps.

We have to be given a specific problem to solve and then from the view of the pet industry we solve it. That is, rather then letting someone who knows nothing of the pet industry making arbitrary, uninformed decisions. I can give better examples concerning herp laws here in Texas but these are just excercizes in futility unless we are going to work on them. They can't be answered in a quick post on Ksnake.

As always I am available to work on any of this.
