Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nurse Ratchet" data-source="post: 209855" data-attributes="member: 37967">In case the Lacey Act passes as is, and many pets will not be permitted to cross state lines, I thought I'd plan ahead for worst case scenario and maybe advise y'all to give it some thought as well. If I meet an untimely demise for any reason in the near future, my friends and family have made it very clear that they will take care of my dogs and cats, but nothing else. Some even suggested (kindly, they thought) that they would release my tarantulas and reptiles in the woods by my house to "be free." Umm....NO! For so many reasons, NO!So I spoke to a local vendor who has agreed to take in my non-mammals in case the worst should ever happen.Just something to think about.</blockquote>
