House Resolution 5421, passed on party lines, and Senate bill S626 will amend the Lacy act to prohibit the transportation into or within the US of all live animals of all types. Exceptions are: 1 - farm animals 2 - cats and dogs 3 - any animal that was traded in very large numbers during the calendar year 2021. It should be noted that the pandemic greatly reduced animal shipments during 2021.
This will destroy most of the pet industry. Only those most popular 50 species of fish sold by chain stores in vast quantities will be listed. It should be noted that the common Plecostomus is the most injurious and most popular fish in the industry. Clearly the bill is not about the protection of anything other than special interests.
This law, if passed will create a white list of approved species. ALL others will be banned. The result will be loss of income of indigenous people world wide and the loss of habitats hobbyists have been protecting for 75 years.
The unintended consequences of this foolish legislation will cause the extinction of thousands of species currently protected by the pet industry. Mining, logging, and farming interests are anxious to purchase this land. Once it is no longer of economic value for its natural life it will be destroyed.
Send a message to your US Senators urging them to VOTE NO to amendments to HR4521 impacting the Lacey Act.

Do you carry when in your back yard?
A snake breeder? Interesting.
“Will someone try to smuggle in a gerbil?”
Rumor has it, Adam Schiff does this all the time.
One of my cousins had a big chunk of his cheek taken out by a Huskie. He needed plastic surgery, and the dog had to be put down.
A dog is only as good as its training - and even then you can’t always be sure.
Just like humans.
Lol!
He is absolutely the most interesting guy at the family reunion.
Very few. So few as to be insignificant.
Same with many other breeds and their mixes. Or even generalized types. Which is what “pit-bull terrier” is. It is a type that encompasses many breeds.
Considering that despite the hype of the last few decades, the whole lot of PBTs really aren’t that popular, their attack rate is huge.
German Shepehrds get a bad rap, but considering they’re probably the most popular breed for the last century world-wide, a very small % actually cause problem.
And yes, lots of other breeds just do not seem to get into that “attack - and HOLD to the death” zone that certain types do.
What do you expect him to do? Constantly carry AND Abe alert for every possible ambush? Yes, in fact, often that is exactly what PBTs do.
The flaw in your argument is that a gun cannot decide for itself to act. It requires a human to operate it because it is merely a piece of equipment.
Dogs are actual, live lifeforms capable of action independent of human control. They can choose to ignore their handlers orders and attack at will, something a gun does not have the option of doing.
You can thank martell for that.
Yeah, you've got it right. Huskies are notoriously lovey, social, family-friendly animals. Any dog, no matter the breed, can bite. I'm very leery of tiny dogs, they tend to bite more readily.
Exactly. Completely bogus argument.
They are de rigeur for globalists like Klaus Schwaub!
When a thread like this gets posted in the News forum that is based on complete bullshit and disinformation and people go on yakking about it without questioning the veracity or checking it out, that tells you a lot about the state of FR today.
I’ve known very very sweet pit bulls. Don’t want to own one, cuz I’m a Keeshond person.
Tiny dogs are nasty and annoying but at least can be drop kicked if need be.
That can’t be done to something half your size and twice your strength.
My son in law bought two pit bulls 20 years ago. I told them they should not have those dogs around my two granddaughters. Well of course I was over ruled by him and my daughter. Until one day he was in the back yard and some kids were walking past their house. They jumped the fence and went after the kids. Needless to say they were gone 10 minutes later.
The neighbors are from south of the border where raising mean pit bulls is a macho thing.
There’s a long wooded path near me that I like to walk on occasion. And there are all sorts of yelping dogs in the area. No pit bulls. Then one of the homeowners near the path bought a pit bull, and chained it in his back yard. That thing would snarl insanely whenever anyone walked by on the path.
That’s when I started to carry a revolver on my walks. Fortunately I never had to use it.
No, but the fence is higher and when it needs repair I have to tell the owner that I need to do it so he can kennel the dogs.
