Eric,
This is an interesting proposal and one that should be followed closely as with each new regulation and/or addition to any existing regulation, it WILL be used as the "stepping stone" for the next one that WILL follow.
For instance, this proposal only affects a small segment of captive (private) husbandry of these exotic animals and therefore, less resistance and/or objection to getting the "initial regulation" passed and enacted...This will establish the "working" framework as a starting point. Now change the names of the animals to something we are more familiar with (e.g. Burmese Python, etc)...Once the framework is in place, it's relatively easy to change the names to go up the food chain...
This is the case with ALL of the regulations/laws that are passed...They are used both as the starting point for the inevitable "addition" and/or the next one...After all, it's the "end state" that the AR folks are interested in that counts.
Also, this will also add additional legal precedent for action by sympathetic lawyers to the AR agenda...
Thanks for the update..
Later,
Jim.
PS: I imagine that the government (and it's sanctioned entities-zoos, state parks, research universities, etc) are exempted from this proposal...
