You can check this bill out that wants to take away you rights to breed sell and transport your animals, it can be found on the USARK site. If you need I can e-mail a link to you , just send me an e-mail.

Yeah guys, this one is very nasty. We are all gonna have to switch to Puerto Rican Boas if it passes. On the flip side, by the wording, the burms will be left off the banned list because they are already "firmly established" and not likely to be erradicated. I am sure all votes for will be based on the burm issue which this will not address.

Ahh jeez, I meant to add in a line about doing something. Please write your local reps and politely ask them to vote against this bill. Check the USARK for a sample letter. A recent speaker for the CHS who works in the government circles did say, original letters get much more of a response, so edit the pre-written one enough to make it your own at the very least...
