[bcr226]

sb466 intr (http://www.legis.state.wv.us/Bill_Text_HTML/2013_SESSIONS/RS/Bills/sb466%20intr.htm)


Ignorant people making ignorant laws about subjects they know nothing about.

Advice on how to shoot this down hard? :confused:

Call and email them all, and get everyone you know to do the same. Draw up a list of names, phone numbers, addresses, and emails, to make it easier for people. They're lazy, so the easier you make it, the more will contact the senators.

Get people involved. One person will not make much of a dent, but united we stand. Get as many people on board as you can. Your family will probably be easy to get onboard. Try and get fellow herpers involved. Contact local reptile and animal societies and clubs. Post ads on this and other forums. Try to get people to look. Maybe say: "our herps are in danger" or something like that. Don't stop there though. Herps aren't going to be the only ones impacted. Try talking to zoo workers. Chances are if they love working with wild animals, they probably keep some too. Now, they probably don't have tigers or anything, but you know what I mean. All the luck too ya. All of us here in PA are rooting for ya. There is not much we can do from here, but I am sure the whole forum along with me will do anything that they can to help you. Good luck amigo!
