The bad part about this is that once it gets passed in one state, it is easier for something like it to be passed in another. I have a reptile business in NC, but it's not just me that would suffer. It would be the private breeders, the private collectors, and those here who buy animals from people outside NC. Also, what happens if it goes to more than just a few states? Then if you are a business, in any way selling, breeding reptiles, how many customers does that knock out of your market? Not many if it's only a few states maybe, but let this thing get rolling and it could do some serious damage. And you know that they won't "place the animals they confiscate in a wildlife sanctuary or zoo". Zoos won't take larger reptiles most of the time because there are too many needing to be placed already. Can we say, taken behind the building and put down?
