HR669 - Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act

[Stefan-A]

I thought you in the US might find it interesting. I bet this is being discussed on other forums as well, but maybe there's somebody here who hasn't heard about it. It mainly concerns our members in the United States, but I don't doubt that it will have consequences elsewhere as well.

Here's a video explaining the details:

Them banning pets is the least of our worries the way things are going now.

First I have heard of this. Hopefully it will not have a chance of passing. Thanks for the heads up, Stefan.

My Rep. is on the commity that is over this bill. I have sent him an email and am working on a letter and a phone call. From my experience with him I do not think he is very excited about it so I hope that is a good sign for how others will take it as well.

I just came accross this bill earlier today, is there anything someone like me can do to help? (being a very inexperienced but extremely willing to learn and take action kind of vertically-challenged-gal!!) =D

[k2l3d4]

[adamanteus]

That's rubbish! It mustn't pass, the repercussions would be world wide.

[drache]

it seems unlikely that it will pass - it's just a bit too crazy
makes me wonder who is actually behind this
