The attitude of "I don't keep these animals, so I do not care what happens to them" is very short sghted to say the least. Facts are that eventually the powers that be will get around to your collection and/or pets if things are not handled in a timely and correct manner.



A lot of the general public hates to even see snakes in a movie and have a negative conotation of anything associated with them. So a heads on fight for public opinion is many times doomed to failure.



Around the contry we have seen over the last few years a number of laws go into effect that restrict and hamper the ability of law abiding citizens to keep a number of types of reptiles and animals.



Personally I choose to not sell burmese, anacondas, venomous etc etc. But I personally will be glad to spend time and money to make sure others have the right to if that is what they decide to do.



A common sense approach to all of this type stuff is never even considered in my opinion by the powers that be. Things such as posting a bond and/or licensing, inspection of facilities etc etc. for animals that can truly be possibly injurious to the public welfare. Could and should be considered as versus a total ban which is always the first consideration they come up with.



In effect the passing of this listing will severely curtail and impact the hobby as none we have seen before with the exception of the Lacey Act itself. And that law has real teth and is used in the majority of the FWS cases etc.



The next step I have been told will be banning of all inter-national importation and interstate transportation of any alien or by state non-indigenious species.



I bet that would hit a lot of you right where it would hurt, I know it would me in my collection.



Bottom line we either will win this situation as a hobby or lose it and have to wait till the other shoe drops on all of us in the future.
