[QUOTE="Padraig Sea, post: 209533, member: 14430"] I’m not sure what “reach out to your legislators” has to do with a mob mentality, but feel free to interpret it how ever you like. And no, it’s pretty clearly not about invasive species when the areas potentially impacted represent small regions of 3 states. Furthermore, the “white list” is nothing more than a blank check for USFWS to demand we price species are *not* invasive. Lastly - the most detrimental invasive species - cats, dogs and farm livestock - are specifically excluded from the bill. It’s spectacular to suggest a bill that would demolish the hobby but give a free pass to animals that are actually destroying ecosystems is a good faith approach to conservation. Again, USFWS does not want the hobby to exist. Today they are making up their own rules with zero accountability. This amendment would end the hobby as we know it. That isn’t hysteria, that is the truth. [/QUOTE]
