One of the strongest groups is PIJAC the Pet Industry Joint Advisary Council. They have the lobbyists, scientists and experts in place to fight these contrary laws that are trying to get passed. They are already working to fight the NY state laws. By the time you get the National Herp Society organized it may be too late to be of any good in some states. It still is a good idea but right now you need to get behind PIJAC in the current struggle.



PIJAC National Reptile Improvement Plan This is one step that PIJAC is taking regarding reptiles. Check out their site for other info on legislation.



Its well worth the cost of the membership to save our hobby and in some cases our profession.
