I strongly encourage any animal enthusiast in VA to use this site to find your delegate and senator. Contact them and ask them to oppose SB 477 and HB 1242. Even if the animals you like are not affected in these bills, this is not the endpoint. If we give up venomous and constrictors now, in a couple months they will go after your dogs, cats, and horses.
