>>I am really upset right now!!! I just went to the government regulations page and saw that 1994 people have made public comment. The problem is 1539 of those comments were actually made in 2008 during the NOI. That means only 455 have been made since the proposed rule was published in the federal register back in March 2010. What is even worse is that half of the 455 are from HSUS and othe AR groups. That means that only about 200 members of the Reptile Nation have made comment!!! Why is no one making comment? This is really bad! USARK has been spending thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours fighting this. We need the Reptile Nation to stand up and make comment NOW! DEADLINE is Tuesday May 11, 2010!!
>>Go To www.Kill-RuleChange.com and make public comment.

>>USARK

Because until I read this, I hadn't seen a simple way to get the info and where to send a public comment to the USFWS on the rule change (as opposed to the proposed bill that seems to have died down). Honestly, everyone argued about it, but no one seemed to really "hand out" simple 1, 2, 3 steps and clear directions for submitting a public commenet. I haven't had the time to look it up myself, and it doesn't affect me directly, so it became something I intended to do (the looking up of info before making a comment to USFWS, but it kept getting put on the back burner.
