In a lot of ways I question how much this would change our industry. Will it be illegal to breed new animals? Illegal to sell them across state lines? Sure. But would that really stop a lot of breeders?

I mean, law enforcement right now is already spread depressingly thin. The laws already in place to prevent the important/distribution of endangered or dangerous species are hardly enforced at all unless a common citizen brings it to the attention of the police. In a lot of places sellers do their business openly on the internet or even in pet stores. Will law enforcement really be looking to crack down on selling a few boas versus heroine, the human slave trade, drunk driving, etc?
