Seems to be a move to take everything away that is not different.
The times they are a changing!

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Cornsnakes being backpedaled isn't official yet. It's still on the list that petshops are getting and we won't know for sure until the commissioner's meeting. I have emailed 4 of the local (DFW) news stations to let them know about the ban in Texas. I actually talked with someone from CW33 and he said that they haven't heard about this. He also thought this wasn't right what was happening and how fast. He said they will try to air it on Monday because the TP &WD won't comment on the weekend. I believe that we need to get this out there and let the entire public know. That way more people will be contacting the officials and perhaps we can save our right to own our pets. Also how are we supposed to feed our animals if the mice are still on there?

Something very similar happened in Utah and we have been fighting them for two years trying to get it straightened out. Does anyone remember Operation Slither?
