How to Violate the Lacey Act in One Move

[Albert Clark]

Thanks, I have not yet recieved this info from USARK. I don't see that the language is clear and it sounds rather conflicted. But thank you anyway and I will look to see if there is some more info in those pages.

This predator has many tentacles.

Yeah, I see. Still don't see any dates on this. I guess we'll be hearing more from USARK on it in the upcoming weeks?

I believe this is the current version of The Lacey Act, updated 6/22/16

Would there be any exceptions for rescued wild garters( see post on garter injured by a lawn mower) or garters such as albinos that wouldn't survive in the wild?.

From what I've read I'd have to say No(each State may be different) With that being said I'm not sure how many officers would make a deal out of it. As long as it's not a federally protected species. For those it is HANDS OFF!, photos only from a distance and no disturbing the species.

The codes are written to include a species by scientific name. Being a morph makes no difference to the law.
