HR669 vs. Cichla

[ceeej31]

What really saddens me is when I make my store rounds and ask the employees if they know about this bill,no one seems to know or they don't even want to listen when I try to tell them about it.

at least you tried......
people keep telling me "its nothing to worry about" or "theirs no way it will get passed". they just don't get how serious a threat this bill is

I agree,and some of these people seemed to look at me like I'm some kind whacko.

If this bill passes, the Peacock Bass will have to make the approved list. And someone will have to pay for an anaysis of potential invasiveness for them to even have a chance of being legal, and they would have to pay for each individual species.

you have to talk to the owner or something if i were some minimum wage jerkoff just working there till something better comes along (which almost all are) i wouldn't really care, unless i was a MFK to begin with, or like put a petition in the store in my experience people usually are pretty easy to get to sign something like this, and if you even get like 50 from each store just imagine

Any fish already in possession will be grandfathered in.

Any fish already in possession will be grandfathered in.

What do you mean when saying gandfathered in?

 

[ewurm]

Any fish you have if the bill passes are legal, but no breeding or obtaining new specimens is allowed.
