Amendments to the Lacey Act

[Aaron_S]

I just wanted to make a post about the changes to the Lacey act trying to get through in the house or senate or whatever it's called.

We should be writing senators or representatives as this bill would like to impose heavy restrictions on shipping and other parts of the hobby/industry. This includes shipping from one state to the other and thus eliminating a lot of pet stores.

This will have repercussions from the smallest hobbyist all the way to the biggest breeders.

Not only is this affecting private collections it will also affect larger institutions like zoos or aquariums on transporting or bringing in new specialty animals.
