What the hell is this? And why have I not heard of it via the numerous newsletters I subscribe to?? The Federal giovernment especially, and all government, needs to stay out of our lives and pocketbooks. It is a violation of the Tenth Amendment. and if you do not know what THAT is you had better find out fast. www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-669www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-669www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000042----000-.htmlI have read the entire law, and it does NOT permit the breeding of "non-native" species or transporting them from state to state. But states have theur own laws, anyway. The Feds will have truly gone more insane than normal if they apply this to hamsters. I shall contact my congressman at house.gov. Everyone else needs to look into this further and spread the word on other sites. |

I read about this a few days ago on another forum but never got around to posting about it here. Sorry. . . . yes, it's something to take action on!

It COULD indeed be applied to everything from cockatiels to most fish to gerbils.
It says more than being opposed to new importation. It speaks of current breeding and transporting.
Since I consider the Federal government to be by nature insidious, and the current government much worse, anything is possible.
And the Tenth Amendment continues to die a slow death.

BTW, what did the AGS say about this? I did write to my Congressman again. Unfortunately he is an Obama rubber stamp. Our veteran congressman, Fossella, got busted for drunk driving and then for having a second family. Bigamy! Then the guy running in his place died of a heart attack. Then the Republicans and Conservaitves (a separate party in NYS) split. So this guy got in.  |

Yes, this is something to stop. Why can't they just keep with the permits that some have to have and leave it at that. *shrugs*

Because government is a cancer ever seeking to grow and become more powerful and insidious.
