Regardless of what species are involved, this bill is unnecessary, redundant, and a waste of Colorado tax dollars. Animal welfare laws are already in place and measures like this bill only punish responsible citizens instead of actually penalizing criminals.
Yet another "traveling animal act" ban under a different name. This bill has broad and vague language which could allow enforcement upon programs with most animals.
The new rule specifically address Burmese pythons, Argentine black and white tegus, green iguanas and 13 other high-risk nonnative snakes and lizards that pose a threat to Florida’s ecology, economy, and human health and safety.
