Hey guys and girls. If you haven’t heard there is a bill trying to get passed to restrict the importation/breeding of most non-native animals. Reptiles, amphibians mammals, FISHES.
I’m doing an argument paper on this bill and how I oppose it.
Here are the points that I want to make
Drastically affect the pet industry. Big companies and Mom/Pop stores. I think the industry is worth 42 billion dollars.
Large number of animals that is non-native to the US cannot survive our cold winters. Only a small percentage is invasive.
Many people breed animals for a living and to help conserve the animal.
All pets, that are not approved will be either exported, or killed. And killing is cheaper.
If you guys can help me do some research it will be helpful. Anything that will help back up the four points will help.
What you can do to help.
Call your local fish stores; let them know about the Bill. Asked them to make a list species of non-native animals that give them the most revenue.
If you are a breeder, explain what your goal is for fish keeping. And your dependence on the sales of tropical fish.
Give your testament on why you oppose the bill.

Things that you can do to help. Write a letter to your state officials. write a letter and post it on here. so that we can quickly copy it and give our own testimonial, print it out and mail it out.
