Dear President Obama,
Banning the importing, selling, and trans-state transporting of large snakes is both ignorant and irresponsible. Not only is it wrong to punish 49 states full of passionate animal lovers for "Florida's sins", but deploying said law would take a heavy blow on the economy of small businesses that raise and breed these beautiful creatures for a living.
Yes, people in the past have occasionally released large snakes into the wild in careless neglect, but what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service don't understand is that these snakes would die off in the wild of pretty much any other region.
What they also don't understand is that the average reptile lover is better than that- and leaving an entire generation of children to be uneducated about these snakes is a bad idea.
