Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Long time. I hope all are well. Me and my Boas are doing OK, (well, at least the Boas are!).

Dr. John Rossi, here in Jax, FL, was telling me there is a Bill before Congress to illegalize possession of boas and pythons. He strongly urged me to write and call US Congressmen (Federal). I assume the Forum has been communicating this, but don't know, and want to hear what anyone knows and what others have been doing to voice opposition.

Thanks.

was stopped cold in its tracks.. just like the last 2 times its been tried here..

it was "too broad".. and there was far more support of stopping this bill than actually passing it..

but if it gets passed somewhere.. its all the precident they need to pass it EVERYWHERE!.. so keep ur eyes and ears open

Could get a bill # and who is sponsoring it, and post that info? I'd sure like to send out a letter to complain about the Federal Government wasting our tax dollars!

He has not said a word about this. That seems odd to me. I will definately call Monday at his office and check it out. I we can count on you Pete to get involved with the effort to defeat the pet ordinance in Jacksonville. This pet ordinance is too much government and this new animal control supervisor Mr.Mattox is trying to push this through. He says he did it in Calif. and he will do it in Jacksonville. Come to our meetings the first Wed. of each month at M.O.S.H. (the Museum of Science and History). The meetings starts at 7:30. I will definately ask John to speak about this ban you have brought up at that meeting. We will also be discussing what we can do to stop government intervention into our right to own, display and breed our reptiles.
I do want you to know this forum has been fighting the Proposals in Washington and Murrieta, Calif. and has made a difference. I'm afraid I'm going to have to add Jacksonville, Fl to that list that this forum may have to help. Thanks Richard Rooker

not State or Local. I think we should all be writing our US Congresspersons in all States. It was proposed by a Democrat. Perhaps Maddox, I don't know. Thanks all.
