Lock up your pets, a message from a friend

Posted on Apr 24th, 2009 by jilljj : just-being jilljj
Please forgive me that my first post, much less first message is of this nature, but it is something that concerns all of us in this trade. I received th9is message from Craigs list, assuming it to be some hoax or hype, I google’d it [HR669]. Still assuming it to be fake, I visited [See the Actual Bill] this will effect you… below is the original message. No offence but this sounds like the work of Peta



Thanks for Reading , J



HR669 is a piece of legislation being proposed that would ban the possession, sale, or breeding of any nonnative wildlife in the United States . This would affect anyone who keeps pets such as fish (Koi, Gurramies, Cichlids, Bettas, ect.), invertebrates (crustaceans, mollusks, insects, arachnids), reptiles, birds, and mammals (Dogs, Cats, flying squirrels, chinchillas, etc.). It is being reviewed on April 23rd and pet owners are looking to create a large snail mail and phone campaign. Emails aren’t nearly as effective because of spam filters. Please help us by writing your letters today!!! Simply follow the instructions on the video.
