in my meetings.... and I know someone here can back me up on it because he heard me say it verbatim:
I told them more and better data was needed before regulating anything.
I told them "I don't like the fact that 300,000 turtles and 84,000 rattlesnakes were taken from Texas,
but just because I don't like it, it is important that ANY new regulations have a database to back up the need
for such regulation. We can't patently disallow anything just because we may not like it."
