Under the Lacey Act you may not transport across state lines any individual or part of an animal on the list. If you do it's a felony. If S373 passes as is, you would actually commit a FELONY by wearing a belt made of Burmese Python skin and crossing a state line. It's not just live animals, nor does it just mean sales.
It would NOT necessarily make them illegal to own or sell INSIDE your state. That would depend on your own state.
It's the US Congress that would make the law, not the Supreme Court.
It would effectively end the keeping of the listed snakes by attrition.
>>Lacey Act, Define it please?- This bill makes animals on this bill illegal to collect, right? Also means no trade of these said animals? So in all reality this bill would make them illegal to own if passed right? So we are all being so concerned of not being able to ship or sell from state to state, when the big nail has actually been driven home if this ammendment is passed, and the 9 big constrictors are added to the lacey act by the supreme court, right? Sorry for any confusion, I have been really trying to study all that is going on with this crap! I just want to understand everything correctly. Thanks for any help in my process of trying to better educate myself of these things.
