There was a short-lived magazine back in the 70’s that was called National Association for Sound Wildlife Programs. The issue you need to read is Vol. 1 No. 2 and the date is 1976. In it was an article on page 27 called “Think Before You Give” It was a press release from October 24, 1974 from 14 so called Environmental, Wildlife and Humane Groups. There were 26 items that they wanted to accomplish.
#6 “Sale of non-domestic animals as pets, be they indigenous to the US or imported be restricted at state and federal level to possession for educational, research and or conservation purposes only”
Well at least you could still have cats and dogs but you have to fix all of them if you read down a few more numbers.
# 9 “All commercial exploitation of wild animal products be banned” Lets see no more commercial fishing . Nope nothing to worry about here.
Everyone really needs to read this!
