America Competes, Lacey Act amendments

[reptilenotfish]

I was watching youtube, and found a large amount of people in the exotic pet hobby almost panicking because of this bill. the large majority of the bill concerns foreign relations, but it also aims to ban almost any animal (with the exception of cats, dogs, common livestock) from crossing state lines. the US reptile hobby is extremely concerned, But I haven't seen much from aquarists. What are some opinions?

note: I find it kind of ironic that leopard geckos would probably be restricted, but cats, the killing machines of the animal kingdom, have little regulation, if any.

There’s a large thread already about this subject. Best of luck over there.
