Stop LA County Reg Proposal
Proposed regulatory changes in Los Angeles County could shut down or force relocation of Reptile & Tropical Fish breeders, dealers and pet stores. Although primarily aimed towards dogs and cats it will have a devestaying impact on the Reptile Nation in LA County.
If enacted the new regulations would require:
1. Cages would not be allowed to be stacked.
2. 24/7 staffing if have more than 50 animals in the facility. See proposed Section 10.40.010(Z). If less than 50 animals, you must have adequate staffing for at least 8 hours a day. If you have more than 50 fish, reptiles, birds, etc., or any combination thereof, you must staff the facility 24/7.
3. Records must be kept on each "Animal". "Animals" defined in Section 10.08.020 any animal, bird, reptile or fish.
4. Proprietary business information will be available to the public (that could mean Animal Rights groups).
5. The Department may also impose “reasonable conditions” on a breeding license for any non dog or cat breeder.

There will be two hearings in LA this week. Please attend if you can. It is extremely important that as many members of the Reptile Nation show up as possible. This regulation could really hurt LA members of USARK. We can't let this happen! Go to these meetings!!

I read about this think in a finch aviary site . Even those who keep fish tanks with lets say 51 guppies have to keep a staff on 24/7 and that includes feeder mice breeders.

lol I am and I also a Bronze member of USARK.org and another group .

For yrs many who only had fish or birds never cared much about the banning /attempted banning of reptiles but now its come to bite everyone.

I don't keep pythons but have subscribed to fighting it because don't want laws to trickle down to smaller snakes which I keep.

I read Bird breeders are now joining.

I agree with you trickle statement. Ppl should have been more agro about this years ago,knowing that good things always get attacked eventually.

All these new laws need to be re organized and the focus should shift to those irresponsible and stop hurting responsible keepers and business owners. I would love to see many horrid pet stores go under, but this kind of stuff is nuts.
