Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

USARK Alert - HR2920 Amendments to the Lacey Act
http://usark.org/2015-blog/hr-2920/
USARK put out an alert last night asking people to please contact their representatives to oppose HR2920.
If you don't know who your representative is you can look up the info at http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ based on your zip code.
IMO the mere fact that this legislation was introduced - as it would write into the US Code and not the Code of Federal Regulations that importation and interstate transport of listed species is prohibited - shows that the USFWS knows it's on very shaky ground in the lawsuit. If it were sure of its position this bill would not be needed.

Fws doesn't have a choice but to get an amendment or executive order. Since if the judge rules 18 usc 42 doesn't give them the right to regulate interstate transportation; all species on lacey will be allowed to go across state lines. ...usark focusing on interstate commerce is what is forcing fws hand in this matter. And now usark is telling people to call and say they oppose a bill that will stop interstate transportation of things like zebra muscles and other animals that are actually invasive. ...sure to make the reptile industry look even worse.
