We therefore decline to conclude that Congress, by implication, altered the meaning of the shipment clause’s terms so as to criminalize the interstate shipment of every Lacey Act species. Rather, the clause continues to mean what it has meant since its enactment: it prohibits the shipment of injurious species between the listed jurisdictions, including to and from the continental United States, but it does not speak to shipments between the 49 continental States.
* * * * *
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court’s judgment and hold as a matter of law that the government lacks authority under the shipment clause to prohibit shipments of injurious species between the continental States.
SUCK IT UP FWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are plants are on your list....

Attached is a list of 201+ Caudata species, not included in your list, that should have never been placed on the list.

While it is important to have regulations restricting the movement of injurious wildlife, The outright ban on transport was excessive and USFW saying I would need to kill my pets if I ever moved out of state was abhorrent.

We need legislation that makes sense and has some finesse. Banning all transport was about as blunt of an instrument as USFW could have possibly used.

This is only at the federal level. States are free to enact their own bans, so don't assume that you can ship anywhere now.

rodneynboalich 04-08-2017 09:00 PM

states can make their own laws that can be considered a lacey act violation to cross state lines some cases....since its illegal to bring burms into FL because FL has a ban on burms coming in,,,you can get hit with a lacey act violation for crossing a state line for bringing an animal thats illegal in FL...there is a clause in lacey act that says its a federal crime to cross a state line with an animal thats possession of it is illegal... so as far as i know its still a lacey act violation to ship those listed snakes to any state that has state laws banning their entry into the state...

So we can ship burmese as long as the state were shipping to allows it?

This is still on going so no shipping. This does allow us to work on a common sense agenda with out the hysterics that caused ban in first place.

JColt 04-09-2017 04:01 PM

I should have said, I think no shipping yet as I'm not sure. Keep an eye on USARK for coming info.
