Their seems to be alot more chewies leachies and cresties on the market in BC right now!

Really? The only Chewies and Leachies I see around here are from big time breeders. :|

Seems silly to have an approved list instead of a banned list, that would make a lot more sense.

It's going to council tomorrow. I can't attend (big school assignment) but I know several people are, plus I've written to councillors.
Kind of scary.

Keep us updated, I'm curious to hear how it turns out. And if it has the potential to be precendent-setting.

Hopefully enough people will stand up against this ridiculousness. And I agree - why not have a banned list rather than an allowed list? I think there are some council members with screwed up priorities.

Here's a news story. Their excuse for banning certain animals is pretty lame. A bunch of hobbists, when to the council meeting today and got a 4 month extention. Good thing they were there.

Leland Gordon sounds like he is a Miss America Contestant. I'm very glad it got laid-over. It's action time.
