In 2009, the Senate introduced bill S. 373. If passed, this bill would have had the same impact as the US Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) proposed rule change (see first blog entry Proposed Rule Change: Background Information).
In response to S. 373, two long-time large constrictor enthusiasts and businessmen - Vincent Russo and Bob Ashley - wrote thoughtful, constructive letters that address the potential impacts of the S. 373...and they shared their letters with PIJAC.
We encourage you to read these letters in order to get a sense of the appropriate tone and content for your comments on the USFWS proposed rule change.
The letters can be located at -

REMEMBER - PIJAC would like a copy of the comments that you submit to the USFWS on the proposed rule change. Please send them to info@pijac.org with "Large Constrictor Comments" in the subject line. Be sure to let us know if we can share your comments as examples.
Thanks you!
