The Time Is Now!!!

Well the government is trying to keep us down... Yet again.

The Humane Society of the United States has a bill, AB122, up for hearing before the CA General Assembly Appropriations Committee this Wednesday. This bill seeks to BAN the sale of animals that are NOT "traditionally" sold through pet shops. This would include many different animals INCLUDING Herps. This is an attempt to end ALL Reptile Shows and "face to face" sales that are the basis for much of how the middle and high end of our market distributes animals. It would eliminate almost ALL sales except from pet shops. Reptile Shows and open air auctions/sales would come to an end in CA.

Please go to this website and fill out your information and sent it!

We Can't Let The Man Keep Us Down...

I decided I needed to address an important issue for those of us in the Reptile community, If any of my reader's are not part of this group of people please bear with me while I talk about this problem we are facing, Even you can help us out by signing the petition.

Here is the deal, The Congressional House Committee on Natural Resources is trying to pass a ban on all Non Native species called, The Non-native Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act (HR669). What this will do to our beloved reptile community would be devastating. It would prevent anyone from keeping a Non-Native species as a pet. This included types of fish, birds, reptiles and some mammals. This would be horrible if this was passed and we need fight it. I do know of an online petition going around. If you would all please sign it and let others know about it.

I promise to keep you all posted on the progress of this ban, Lets all keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't pass.

Until Next Time..
