We already have nonnative species here and people are paying a lot of money to kill them in canned hunts. You can own just about anything in Texas or Oklahoma and they are just NOW thinking about regulation? Won't this affect how zoos and captive bred species programs are conducted? What about animals that have been bred here but originated elsewhere such as Bearded Dragons? What about dog breeds that are recognized in Europe but not by the AKC yet? Those idiots in Washington won't address puppy and kitten mills but they somehow can't deal with nonnative species?! There are anoles, snakes, birds AND bugs that are nonnative to this country! How will they get rid of them and at what cost to taxpayers?

Yet another way the United States will waste tax-payer money on non-enforceable legislation.

I agree - as is, the bill is not something that should be passed. Time will tell...

Definite over-legislation! I heard about this before and was the first time I really read much on it. Thanks for bringing it up!

Captive Aquatics

You're right Brian, and because they're going so overboard with it, I think there's a slim chance of it passing (luckily!). Thanks for commenting!
