Please sign petition to stop the salamander/newt ban

[KaprosuchusKarl]

Please sign this petition to stop the ban of salamanders and newts going across state lines. This is not encouraging the importation of caudates, only allowing them to go over state lines so our fantastic hobby will not be put to an end. https://www.change.org/p/u-s-fish-a...d-newts-illegal-to-send-across-us-state-lines

We all know, in fact, I'm the one who started the petition. Looking to help the hobby, as I still have my A.mavitorium and N.viridescens back in GA. Me and my dad are still looking for a way that we could ship them out, and the most likely scenario involves us shipping to someone who can ship to Jordan. But enough of my rant, thank you, and try to get the word out there!

Aren't Ambystoma exempt from the list, or did I miss something?

They are, but if they're going to be the only salamanders legal to ship (Pretty much, there are loop-holes, eggs for example) that'll put more pressure on Ambystoma, especially one that's unique like Pirate's eye. If the law passes though, I can't get the N.viridescens out, they'll have to stay there unless someone in GA can ship to Jordan

USFWS will not listen to a petition. Please make an informed comment using their comment service.

I already have made a formal comment, but I wanted to do more, so I made the petition to inform people who don't know or care about the ban to show that they support it, and another place to get the links if they don't have them
