Snake Ban question?

SKYFIRE_1 May 04, 2008 01:15 AM

I see where they are accepting letters from Snake Owners on their stance with the Ban on Snakes on April 30th. Does anyone know if they are going to come to a decision shortly after that?

Also it says that it is banning the import of snakes, and Interstate transportation of constrictors. Does this mean we could still buy and sell locally? Or is even buying snakes locally going to be illegal?

I guess I really don't understand what they intend to do.

My opinion is that the forces behind this movement intend to ban ownership completely. This is just an incremental step. Making this a Federal issue is a big victory for the animal rights folks.

Thanks,
Ed
