They are trying to ban us again

<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> The NY legislature is at it again. &nbsp;They are trying to make it illegal for people to own snakes and reptiles among other animals. &nbsp;The bill number is State Assembly Bill A7375 and State Senate Bill &nbsp;S4755. &nbsp;You can go to http://assembly.state.ny.us and enter the bill number in &quot;Quick Bill Search&quot;. &nbsp;
&nbsp; The Long Island Herpetological Society has a petition going at http://www.petitiononline.com/9673.petition.htm Please sign it even if you are not in NY. &nbsp;This is very important. &nbsp;If they get a foothold in any state it will spread. &nbsp;I will also post it a link from my site at http://www.wormman.com. Please pass this information on. &nbsp;
&nbsp;Thank you.

Hey people! There's only 407 signatures on this! What are you waiting for?

Thanks for bringing this to the forefront again Ken. The link that Ken provided can also be used to find out who your representatives are. Send them a personal e-mail!! Make it coherent and non-confrontational. I e-mailed 3 of my representatives, and received responses from all 3, saying they appreciated the input, and that they would take all that I had said into consideration if the bill ever comes to the floor for a vote. When you contact them, AT LEAST THEY ARE AWARE THAT WE ARE OUT HERE AND CONCERNED!!

Thanks, &nbsp;Bryan
