Stop Florida Reptile Ban Now!
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will meet September 9th, 10th and 11th. On the agenda will be Reptiles of Concern and whether to ban them administratively this year. Please don't let this happen! What happens in Florida will have repercussions across the country. We need everyone to weigh in on this and send an email to the FWC Commissioners. Even if you are not a Florida resident you can sign the letter as a potential stakeholder. The Humane Society of the United States has been mischaracterizing the issue and spreading inaccurate statistics. The Reptile Nation needs to be heard from coast to coast on this important debate.
USARK President, Andrew Wyatt will be traveling to Florida to attend the meeting. Let the FWC hear the voice of the Reptile Nation prior to his arrival. We have a very good argument to make, but it will be much more convincing if we get a big email push from the Nation. Just follow the link below to our instant email tool. It is as easy as filling in your info and pushing the submit button. Do it now!

Scott,
I hope folks pay attention to this.
It is another battle in the war.
And, it is a big battle.
Perhaps Mack will come along from USARK.
Sure hope he does.
He has a great way of talking with folks in a way that makes them want to listen. And he is great at answering folks questions.
Good Luck with your fight.
Best Regards
John Z

Well I filled out the form and sent it. I got a confirmation it had been received but don't know if it will mean much since I live in Va.
Good luck down there guys and girls. Fight the good fight.

I wish I could be there, even though I live in Georgia.
The reptile business in Florida has an effect on folks from all states, since that is the port of entry for exotic animals into this country.
You all have a strong base in licensed venomous keepers, and I sure hope a lot of you will show up at those meetings.
I wish you all the best of luck in fighting this thing.
Best Regards
John Z
