" Just do some research about the current version of the Lacey Act…Previous legislation either didn’t solve the “problem” (inadequate) or they found something other “problem” that was not addressed in the original bill. "



The research I did was being there when the feds discovered just how foolish a smart man can make them look. The individual that caused the original version of the lacy act to be altered happened to be the guy who at pretty young age showed me how the animal world go's round. Since then I've had a very well rounded education.............



Probably the biggest case in US history was between the US GOV and Hank Molt, the guy who changed the reptile world and the law books forever .



Hank set the stage for everyone as far as transforming reptiles from novelty's into rare and valuable collectable's. A true prototype for the industry. He really created the modern reptile business.



Like in every other business venture there were glitches. One of them was the pick and choose prosecution tactics used by the feds. It was tricky situation . How do you put away the evil animal smuggler with out implicating the pristine reputation of the nations top zoos who were his knowing and very willing clients? Adjust the rules. The whole thing was a joke and has been ever since.



Like the old saying go`s the bad guys aren`t always what they seem and the good guys aren`t always right .
