Another Link - No HR 669

I know, I know, I'm terrible. Another link. What an asshole. Last one, then back to normal.
So there's a bill before congress (voted on tomorrow) to essentially ban all non-US-native pets. This includes almost all fish, most reptiles and amphibians, most birds, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and ferrets. The ban could screw a lot of pet owners and a lot of pet shops (not to mention this blog which would have a significantly reduced pet population to choose from). So you know, if you feel strongly enough, go here and send an email or letter or make a call. It took me less than two minutes to send an email.
Thanks for putting up with my linking and my lack of Things Pets Do. Back to normal soon.

  3. I haven't heard anything about this. Which is typical of the way the lawmakers work.

    I'm looking into it too. Thanks for the link.

  4. Sandee: Yeah, they really are frightening sometimes.
    Margo: Yeah seriously.
    Vic: No problem. And isn't it great how'd never know what the hell they're doing unless you actively look for it? And by great I mean shitty.
