I found an interesting paper on "How To Kill a Bill" on the Repticzone web site:
http://www.kc.net/~wolf2dog/killbill.htm
Andrew Wyatt makes a very good point about legislators not wanting to be linked to AR zealots.
There was an article about Pamela Anderson and her association with PETA posted on Yahoo the other day. I lambasted PETA on the discussion board and got a number of recommendations and supportive comments. It appears PETA has alienated a lot of people.
It's a lot easier to derail a bill than to get it amended or repealed after it becomes law, so let's all write letters to the legislators who may be favoring this piece of legislation. Even if has been tabled for the moment, it WILL be back.

E. family lacertilia (Salvator monitors and Salvadoran monitors);
Um, Lacertilia is not a family and I am pretty sure there are no monitors in El Salvador (Salvadoran?), besides, I have known iguanas (and dogs)that are more dangerous to people than monitors!
Keep America AND its People FREE!

Hello ,
I know im not liked in the herp keeping world of south carolina ,but people do stupid things !thats not why im writeing ! i was asked by a friend ,to come and speak out about the new law that might be put into the rule books .so thats what i am doing ! some times people only make their minds up based on what the hear , so i think we should show that the herp keepers of sc are not back wood rednecks and can keep their pets in their homes and are not a risk to anyone or their pets (cats or dogs ) !and even that everyone as keepers are ready to stand up for our pets !if it even means putting ourselfs out in our citys and towns and asking for everyone to come as one !
schools ask people that keep reptiles and exotics to come and teach kids about them ! alot of the people that do that cannot pay the amount of money that this would ask of a keeper to pay to keep their amimals ! so in the end i think if we put everyone we can in this we will over come! thank you for reading

It seems to me the heart of this bill is the statement (....SO AS TO DEFINE EXOTIC ANIMAL AS THOSE SPECIES OF ANIMALS THAT ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS TO HUMANS). Forgive my ignorance but would't that include virtually every dog over say....50lbs.?? Look, it's not my state but wouldn't the senator's time be better served proposing some type of EXOTIC GUN bill? Or maybe an EXOTIC LUNG CANCER DERIVED FROM SMOKING TOO MANY CIGARETTES bill. Both of which pose a greater risk to public health and safety than exotic animals! Pehaps the senater has more to fear from gun and tobacco industries than the VERY POWERFULL exotic animal lobbiest and doesn't want to be precieved as "weak" and "ineffetual" during his term in office. As we've allready seen with drugs, making something illeagle isn't necessarily going to make it go away, it's just going to make criminals out of those who simply wish to care for something other than a dog or cat. Now, while I agree that "Billy Bob's Fireworks and Reptiles" shouldn't be selling "little timmy" a baby reticulated python, surely there are other ways of regulating exotic animal ownership than banning it alltogether!
