1) I feel that the law is too overarching and largely unnecessary. The "guilty until proven innocent" method of sorting species is rarely based on good scientific work. Primarily I am angered that the most devastating species we currently have, such as cattle, dogs, cats, etc, are not included in the law. Yet less (or non) destructive species such as guinea pigs and ball pythons are included.

2) It would eliminate the business I am trying to build almost entirely, giving me little or no chance to recoup the investments I have made in prime breeding ball pythons. If the law passes, I would officially have almost $10,000 worth of pets that I cannot take with me when I move out of state and cannot sell/trade to another person within my state. So if I needed to move, they would all pretty much have to be euthanized.

Post Script: If anyone with a greater understanding of this law would like to contradict the conclusions I have reached, by all means. Though I have read both the complete and abridged versions of this law, my understanding in places is tenuous at best.
