Hi all, I wanted to make you aware of a rider on the COMPETES Act, H.R. 4521, which would amend the Lacey act and severely restrict our hobby as well as captive breeding/conservation efforts. I have included a couple links to more information. If you are concerned about this, please contact your senators asap and share your thoughts.

There are many rumors flying around the internet that the Lacey Act Amendments were removed from the COMPETES Act language moving through the US Senate. That is not true. The language is buried in the middle of a several thousand page document where it's very hard to find. The language is still in there.
Each of us needs to act now.
Lydia, thank you very much for sharing this.
