These laws are part of HR 669: Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act. If this bill passes, it will affect not only those in the pet industry but also owners of gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, etc. It is imperative that pet owners understand what this bill means and then fight to stop it! Basic information can be found here: http://www.nohr669.com while more in depth information can be found here: http://www.govit.com/vote/congress.aspx?bill=2009-hr-669. Spread the word to everyone you know,  contact your local government, state government, etc! All we need to do is have people at the meetings who are educated on this bill and can speak about what the pet industry provides to America.
