Hello all.

If you value owning any nonnative wildlife species such as domesticated house cats, goldfish, most pet fish, many pet reptiles, hamsters, gerbils and other rodents, most cage birds, etc. etc.
PLEASE
look at the following story at pethobbyist.com entitled :
First they wanted my mice, now they want my cows, too...

I am asking that you contact your senator and congressman and inform them of the sheer ignorance of this bill!
The whitehouse switchboard number is: 202-456-1414
call and ask for your represenitives offices and usually an assistant of some type will answer.
Then tell them your concerns and know the bill number and its sponsers
H.R. 6311 - Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act Del. Madeleine Bordallo [D-GU]
Co-Sponsors
Rep. Neil Abercrombie [D-HI]
Rep. Alcee Hastings [D-FL]
Rep. Dale Kildee [D-MI]
Rep. Ronald Kind [D-WI]
Rep. Ron Klein [D-FL]
Rep. Betty McCollum [D-MN]

Thank you for taking the time to read this and please pass the word.
 
My father was in the Navy and we were stationed on Guam in the 70"s. Madeleine's husband, Ricky Bordallo was the governor at the time. We wanted to bring our dog with us to Guam, but found out that any domestic animal brought into Guam had to live in quarantine for 6 months. Can you imagine having to go to a dog pound and visit your dog for six months. We were told it was because Guam has never had a case of rabies,and that was to insure that they never had any. I just don't see any legislature banning the importation of animals into the US being able to pass - but with things the way they are now - WHO KNOWS!
