Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello,

I just received a PIJAC alert about this. I knew about and responded to the inquiry of a couple of months ago, but I did not realize that it had become a bill. I don't see anything about this in the forums, did I miss something? This looks like a bill that will crush all keepers of non-native species, as the only non-natives that will be permitted to be kept will be on a USFWS generated list. What do you folks think about this?? If you haven't seen it yet, go to the PIJAC website www.pijac.org on the breaking news page and read the bill, it is scary.

The link you provide didn't work for me. So I'm including the link that I found here and below (just to be safe), in case it works better for some people.

Also, I went to http://www.house.gov/ found my representative and asked him (in my case) to oppose the bill.
