Also look at the Everglades.There was a show on Natgeo a couple of weeks about how the pythons and boas are wiping out the native wildlife down there.
Its the classic example of the few bad apples ruining the entire barrel.I can see that ladies point of view.There are people that will by an exotic animal without doing any research,then when they find they cant take care of that animal,they just release it right out into the woods,lakes,or streams.
But I dont see that law helpping matters either.Take a trip down to any Texas border town,you can buy black market animals down there all day long.If this bill passes,its not going to stop the black market pet trade,its just going to hurt the exotic import people that do follow the laws.
