Some members of the Federal government are on the agenda list but as whole .........



Over the years the Federal government has been pretty good to the exotic animal trade. Some individuals have taken personal beatings at the hand of the feds and at times the action could be considered questionable. For the most part the guys that got in trouble and some of them multiple times had it coming . Their own greed , arrogance and stupidity is what landed them on the receiving end of the Federal hammer. The thing is all of these guys were able to get back in the game after paying the piper. This is because the Feds were never all that hot to shut us down and there were times when they could have been very hard on the industry but did the right thing.



Our current problems are a combination of the growth of activist groups. They have been steadily gaining power both financially and via various contacts both personal and political(mostly state level ). Along with the participation of specific members of the pet industry itself. If the Feds weren't dragged into this they wouldn't have done anything. Now that are involved there going to be coerced and pressured. The problem is if key members from " Our " side are agreeing that bans or other various restrictions are their right course of action their going to go for it.
