Anyone in another state that believes this will not effect your hobby is sadly mistaken. I personally know several fish farmers here in FL that are family businesses, some passed down through generations. New England, Midwest, West Coast...guess where a lot of fish that is supplied to distributors & wholesalers comes from. Buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride.
i wonder if this was a factor in PF moving to new york. or maybe it was just smart timing from them. it could be that these big figh importers and farmers had a decent warning to what was comming.
 
This isn't about feelings, it's about cause and effect. You seem unwilling to correct the cause, so the effect is inevitable.
OK. Then spell out the cause and effect with actual facts and examples. Otherwise spare us the "generalized" political innuendos.

All one need do is look at what your states governor has done.
I don’t think there is room for rational conversation, your states gun violence is out of hand and yet you earlier celebrated that as a victory.

I wish you the best

Our gun violence? A lot safer here than Chicago & Detroit the gun violence capitals of the world. Again, you just can't deal with the facts and make baseless statements.

No, Chicago is the 29th city on the list of violent cities. That's just a talking point, not rooted in reality. The issues in Chicago are largely due to the irresponsible laws in Indiana.

Once again, you are unwilling to look at cause and effect.

you cant look at these statistics without an unbiased lens. they aren't broken down. many of those cities have high density areas that have lots of gang activity. a great example is little Haiti. i have been to Miami a dozen times and have never felt unsafe. a large portion of Miami's statistical crime comes from that single neighborhood.

the other thing to consider if your going to talk numbers on gun crime. look at the total number of gun crimes then look at how many are committed using illegal fire arms. those crimes will not be effected by gun control. none of it is black and white and im not even from the states. just have to use some logic when reading these statistics that dont take any detail into account.

EXACTLY. But then you have common sense. LMAO. Have to wonder how some individuals bastardize a serious issue (Pet industry) with their warped and unrealistic politics. On a more positive note we have just had a big win here. Back to our actual post topic...

*** BREAKING NEWS***
FWC has appointed a NEW Executive Director who is NOT an asshat and IS willing to work with us!
This was just releaased by USARK Florida 4 hours ago...
THIS IS A BIG WIN!!!!!!!

"Good News! We packed the house and the FWC Commissioners have heard your voices. They did NOT vote on the Draft rules implementing Whitelist systems that were hastily posted in the hours before this meeting.
The new Executive Director Colonel Roger Young will be allowed the opportunity to address this issue. We look forward to working with Colonel Young and FWC Staff in hopes of creating fair regulations that work for Florida's animal keepers and our environment.
"Option 1" and "Option 2" were serious threats to animal keepers. Our recommendation is a third option which would expand the successful Conditional Species Permit System.
