Stupid Bill Time.
SpeechlessSo, there's this proposed bill that will put all species not native to the area it rules over...out. Pets, like my leopard geckos, my friend's hamsters, others' birds, snakes... Everything, really, minus cats, dogs, humans, and native species. It treats everything like "guilty until proven innocent." How? This won't ban ALL animals. There's a "black list." Those on it are banned, and to get off it, scientists must extensively (expensive and time-consuming) research the environmental impact of said species. How brilliant.
So, since I'd like to keep my beautiful (and harmless) lizards, as well as have all of you keep your loves, and everyone else keep theirs, too...I'd very much like to push this stupid little idea back on its ass. As soon as possible.
Pardon me if the summary leaves out a few parts. Just google "H.R.669," and you'll find it in more detail. I just wanted to get it out here, since I hadn't heard about it until today.
I'd like to keep the wonder of the world in plain view, not just on google images. There's more to the world than just what's around you, and what's the matter if someone wants a pet parrot to see that? If they love it and take care of it as their own, and it doesn't kill people or anything else on a mass scale, what's wrong with it?

That means no good for me >< All I can afford (and fit into my house) are lizards and hamstars! *huggles Skippie* What are they going to make me do with her anyway? Just chuck her outside?That seems really weird and slightly stupid. Why do they even want to band animals like that?

Chances are, domesticated animals will be euthanized. Returning them into their environment would result in mass disturbances. Catastrophic diseases would be transmitted, and domesticated animals don't often live long in the wild. They never learned how.
Some non-native species are a serious problem. They can wipe out current species through superior competition, thus diminishing biodiversity. Since people would like to preserve said species, they'd like to create as friendly an environment as possible for them. However, this does not take into account that an iguana in Kentucky will not affect the environment in the same was that and Iguana in Nevada will. It's a poor decision.
