HR2811 is being pushed by extreme left wing animal rights people. This necessarily places them in the exact same camp that means to control as much of our lives as is possible. They have plenty of politicians who are sympathetic to them and their cause because they are brothers in arms in every other political battle that they are currently winning on.

Sure the government has plenty of law enforcement problems they are not able to keep up with. Sure they will not have adequate personnel to enforce the new laws if it was to be passed. But guess what, most people will not be willing to risk a FELONY conviction for shipping a legislated animal across state lines. That's right. A violation of the Lacy Act is a FELONY. I and the vast majority of breeders will not be selling animals any more. That is all the animal rights people care about. This is but one step on their path to making a world that is devoid of human interference with anything in nature. That is what this is all about for them. They just can't stand the idea of people owning animals. HR2811 is a tiny step toward their ultimate goals.
