ANIMALS BANNED BY NEW LAW - FISH, BIRDS, REPTILES, INSECTS, FURRIES (DOGS & CATS OK)

The Lacey act is being amended to limit the animals that can be transported to a tiny list of specific species. ALL others will be banned!

PLEASE READ

An amendment to 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 not traded in small 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 100 species of animals sold by chain stores will be listed. Clearly this 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 the land on which these species thrive. Once it is no longer of economic value for the animals living there it will be destroyed.

Send a message to your US Senators urging them to VOTE NO to amendments to HR4521 impacting the Lacey Act.
