Pet trade- No government needed.

[RuevenM at aol_com]

   In my state, small red ear turtles, piranha, walking catfish, freshwater 
stingrays, pike cichlids, pike livebearers, snakeheads, tilapia (all 
species), etc have been illegal since the late 1960's and the hobby and pet 
stores have survived just fine. The only damage is that we no longer walk 
into stinking animal hellholes to purchase our needed tropical fish supplies.
  Also, within the city limits (thank god) all forms of wild animals kept as 
pets are illegal. Unfortunately there have been problems out in the bonnies 
with so-called private zoos.
   Regulating obviously poor choices for pets will not harm our wonderful 
hobby. Florida fish farms are a powerful lobby and a big industry. They have 
a product to sell that harms no one. I am sure they will work to keep the 
paint throwers at the fur shows and society balls.
    As far as our public schools being leftist, well, I can't imagine 
anything in the South being too dangerously leftist as that dog just would 
not hunt there. In fact, if some of our schools get any more conservative 
they will have to look to business schools for instruction in creativity and 
freedom of thought.
