I believe that this is solely a Florida problem and should be handled that way. The proposal you have for the regulation and permits sound good,....to Florida. Not here in NC or up in Michigan or even in Georgia or Arizona. It's their problem, they should deal with it.
What you cannot forget in these trying times is that we are at war. Animal Welfare vs Animal Rights. One truely cares about critters, the other uses it as a tool to push their ideologies onto others. That's why this is being pushed on a national level and not a state level. HSUS is pushing to have "state directors" with an office in your state's capitol. That way their influence is constant. There's something wrong with a "non-profit" organization having an office in a building where my taxes pay for the power, heat and maintenance. Seems as if they want to take over animal control, state wildlife orgs and so on.
The thing about your proposal is it will be by us for us. And I'd rather we police ourselves than some group that has no inkling of an idea on what reptile care requires. I'd keep that in my back pocket, but any regulation is bad. And any reptiles added to the Lacey Act is absolutley intolerable, and illogical.
I'm BY NO MEANS trying to say your idea was a bad one. It shows initiative and that you are thinking. We need intelligence spread out and moving forward in a positive way. Glad to see someone is trying, instead of just whining and crying. That actually pisses me off about as much (if not more) than the AR lies.
