    HR669 - Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act

    I thought you in the US might find it interesting. I bet this is being discussed on other forums as well, but maybe there's somebody here who hasn't heard about it. It mainly concerns our members in the United States, but I don't doubt that it will have consequences elsewhere as well.

    Here's a video explaining the details:

    First I have heard of this. Hopefully it will not have a chance of passing. Thanks for the heads up, Stefan.

    My Rep. is on the commity that is over this bill. I have sent him an email and am working on a letter and a phone call. From my experience with him I do not think he is very excited about it so I hope that is a good sign for how others will take it as well.

    That's rubbish! It mustn't pass, the repercussions would be world wide.

    it seems unlikely that it will pass - it's just a bit too crazy
    makes me wonder who is actually behind this
