The post implies that the mere *possession* of said animals would lead to prosecution. I disagree with that inference.

I doubt that anyone would try to charge me for owning something I had obtained legally, anymore than they would try to go after dealers *retroactively* for having shipped animals prior to the enactment of the law.

Of course, I would have to provide proof that I'd obtained said animal legally (timing is everything), and there would be hurdles to surmount if I were to need to transport said animal. But the straightforward ownership issue would be easy enough to handle.
