That is right with nearly 50,000 letters, many more emails, and thousands of phone calls from people in the reptile community the bill has been thrown out by the subcommittee!This is Great News!! If you sent letters, emails, or called I would like to thank you on behalf of the reptile community and other pet owners. While they can still rewrite the bill if they do U.S. Association of Reptile Keepers (US ARK) and other important groups will have some say into what happens.
