Dan if you think that our letters did anything to keep off the list you must be on something! If you read the actual listing you will see that our letters did nothing to keep boas off the list. The only reason they were left off was to keep the financial impact below a predetermined number.
Also if you think we have 10 years before they will try to put boas on the list you are wrong!!! They already have the Boa on the listing as "high risk" the only other animal that wasn't banned with that high of a risk rating.
They are coming for boas SOON!!!! I would guess they will push them through on the list in the next year two at the most.
We need to fight this with a law suit. Sure it takes 150,000 to get the suit started thats 15,000 from the 10 biggest breeders or roughly the cost of one high dollar animal. That will get the ball rolling and all the donations from little guys like us can keep it going.
If we allow this ban to stay we are allowing them to ban any other animal they want in the future based on the precedent this ban sets.
