Many thanks to everyone taht has responded so far. The Senate has been deluged with letters and phone calls in opposition to HB1468. It "requires the state Wild life and Fisheries Dept. to permit all non-indegeous reptiles." It doesn't state how or why or how much...just do it. They would have carte-blanche to do what they want to. PLEASE continue to email to the senate websen@legis.state.la.us and put a senator's name in the subject line; Adley, Bajoie, Barham, Bean, Boisssiere, Cain, Chaissson, Cravins, Dardenne, Dean, Dupre, Ellington, Fields, Fontenot, Gautreaux, Hainkel, Heitmeir, Hines, Holden, Hollis, Hoyt, Irons, Johnson, Jones B., Jones C., Lambert, Lentini, Malone, Marionneaux, McPherson, Michot, Mount, Romero, Schedler, Smith, Tarver, Theunissen, Thomas and Ullo. They may also be called at 225-342-2040. The Representative who brought the bill up is Melinda B. Schwegmann 504-286-0717 and 225-342-7263. The vote will be taken one day this week, probably Wednesday. PLEASE KEEP THE HEAT ON!! Thank you again for your help. We would like to continue buying Reptiles from all of you out-of-state breeders.
