FWC said "You can keep your pets"

Описание: At the February 2021 FWC Commission Meeting where "Prohibited Species" rules were passed, FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto and Director of the Division of Habitat and Species Conservation, Melissa Tucker, promised that pet owners would be able to continue to keep their pets with no fear of FWC taking those animals away. "No one will need to give up their pets," said Tucker. Tucker referred to claims to the contrary as being "substantial misinformation."

Unfortunately, Barreto and Tucker’s claims have turned out not to be true. FWC has confiscated and euthanized many animals since "Prohibited Species" rules were passed. In fact, we now know that FWC officers have even misidentified a pet as a "Prohibited Species" and killed it before they realized that it was, in fact, an unregulated animal. Stay tuned for more information on that!

USARK FL is challenging "Prohibited Species" rules in court with a lawsuit against FWC. Now more than ever, it is vital that you join USARK FL now at www.usarkfl.org to protect your freedom to keep reptiles.

FWC is now threatening to ban even more species with their consideration of an extremely restricted Whitelist which will make all species not approved by FWC illegal. FWC is expected to present a draft rule further restricting reptiles at the upcoming FWC Commission Meeting on May 10-11, 2023 in Miami.
Make plans now to attend and speak at this meeting!
