Não é só aqui que o govetno cria caso e atrapalha...

Nos EUA está havendo uma revisão em uma lei que simplesmente pode proibir importação, comercialização e mesmo a manutenção (em casa) de peixes e corais não nativos dos EUA....
Com isso seria o fim do hobby nos EUA, até por que qualquer pessoa que possuir aquario marinho, estará agindo ilegalmente.
Isto, caso esta lei seja aprovada... mas depois dos Lion fishs... pode ser que aprovem....
On April 23rd congress will be voting on the The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act (HR 669) This could take away our ability to own saltwater fish and coral and kill our hobby. We have all heard over many years that this could happen. This act could make it happen, and fast.
If you do nothing but skim this and contact your rep that will help. Doing nothing could kill our hobby.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
Anyone with pet fish, birds, reptiles, or small mammals will be affected by this bill. Any
company selling product or services for pet fish, birds, reptiles or small mammals will be
affected by this bill. Would you be impacted by “The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act�
• Virtually all fish in an aquarium are not native to the United States
• Most pet birds are species not native to the US
• Most reptiles kept as pets are not native to the US
• Hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and ferrets are not native to the US
This bill would ban nonnative species not specifically approved by US Fish & Wildlife Service. AND, it does NOT
only ban their importation, it also bans sales, transportation and breeding of these animals
• If you own a bird or reptile, and your specialized veterinarian is located across the state line from your
home, you would be prohibited from taking your pet to its veterinarian
• If you own two fish and they have babies, you would be in violation of this law and your pets could be
confiscated and destroyed
• Don’t plan on moving to another state with your pet. Crossing state lines with your hamster, fish, bird,
snake or other nonnative animal will be illegal
ANY animal except dogs, cats and goldfish will need to go through a costly, extensive study to prove they will not
cause harm AND be approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Service before they can be pets. The proposed
congressional ban on “nonnative species†will affect hundreds of millions of animals currently kept as pets.
PIJAC supports managing invasive species, but this bill is not the answer. Simply enhancing and improving
existing laws and regulations would meet the goal of preventing/minimizing the introduction of potentially
invasive species.
Under HR669, ANY animal not native to the U.S. would have to be placed on an “Approved†list created by the
Fish and Wildlife Service, which does not have the manpower or financial resources to do it. Nonnative species
includes virtually every bird, reptile, fish, and small mammal commonly kept as pets. Until an animal is placed
on the “Approved†list, you would be banned from adopting, purchasing, selling, transporting across state lines,
or breeding these animals.
