You'll get asked questions like this..
So, what background do you have that makes you an expert in this field to say that this accepted text is incorrect?
You say you collect these animals, do you have a degree in husbandry relating to these specific breeds that would show a level of competence that can be taken seriously by this committee?
We understand that you collect these animals but why should we believe what you are saying is accurate? Your collecting these animals could very well overrule the fact that these creatures are dangerous and need to be regulated.
That is the kind of stuff you hear. Ever read the transcripts of the committee hearings on the Lacey Act? You might want to because there were several things that were brought up to get it passed that are absolutely untrue. But they used it.
But of course, I've only got over 20 years of experience dealing with political committees. I'm sure you know better than I on the subject.

If you took a moment you would realize I would never have to deal with anything on a State or Federal level. We don't do our exotics on such a broad scale even though I wish we would.
We recently attended a meeting on a municipal level and we got the wheels turning to keep the laws from outright banning exotics. All it took was the right words and background information of our own with facts. Now it will be like the surrounding areas.
So in conclusion,
