The Aquarium Hobby is Under Attack

A new piece of legislation has been proposed, and if passed, will virtually end the trade of non-native animals (fish, birds, reptiles, etc) and associated industries.  I think it is a good idea to enforce restrictions on certain species in areas where, if the animal escaped, would harm the local ecosystem.  However, the bill (as it stands now) includes all non-native animals in it's "banned" list until they can be "proven" safe, on a per-state basis.
