Proposed Va ban on reptiles/exotics

Please help me to oppose Va bill sb477 that would effectively ban all exotics (no matter how small and safe) from Va. also includes most types of constrictor snakes (again regardless of how small). This is a knee jerk reaction to what happened in Ohio with the in sane person who killed himself. Va already had on the books laws prohibiting lions/tigers/bears and other predators that really could be deemed dangerous,but this new bill just goes too far and punishes everyone. There is a 1000 to 1 ratio in Va of exotic vs dog injuries/fatalities but the state isnt banning dogs (yet anyway). So please contact the senators listed below before 5 pm today! To show your strong opposition to this ludicrous infringement on our rites!!
Thanks

Wait... Are they banning new exotics from entering VA or are they demanding that all exotics be REMOVED from VA?

And will they listen to me even though I'm not FROM VA? Just wondering, because I'd love to help.
