We need your help

The anti pet people are spamming the USFW in favor of adding Boas and pythons to the Injurious Wildlife List.

If you have not sent in your comments please follow the links in red at the top of the page to do so. We only have one day left.

This is from their site.

Your help is urgently needed to stop the importation of pythons, boa constrictors, and anacondas for the pet trade!

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) has requested comments on a notice of inquiry, the first step in a process that could ultimately prohibit importation and interstate trade of pythons, boa constrictors, and anacondas as pets. It is important that they hear from people concerned about the welfare of the animals, the health and safety of the public, and the devastating impacts these snakes can have on local ecosystems.

Please act right away—the deadline for public comment is Wednesday, April 30, 2008.

The links are at the top of the page in the red font. I have been on the site a few times today, you must have tried it at a bad time. Please try again.

Thanks, Dave
