Heads up sugar glider people in Virginia! There is legislation in Arlington county Virginia to ban sugar gliders. There has been little opposition to this ban and the animal rights groups are pushing this legislation. If it passes everything except dogs, cats and fish will be banned. Here is the link: http://usark.org/2017-action-alerts/action-alert-arlington-county-virginia/ Please share this post.

Kimberly, I posted this alert on another forum I'm on. Does it require being a resident of Arlington, VA or VA to act on this? I would love to do what I can to prevent this ban, but I'm in MD.

I think any opposition to this ban would help. Being a resident of VA, even better.
Sadly once they get these animals banned it can be difficult to reverse.

I saw that, it is great!
I sent my two cents worth also. I get my heads up on this stuff from USARK. I may not have reptiles but this group is on top of stuff.

Wow... Love the read. Thank you for sharing. Getting the backing from a professional staff of veterinarians on exotics should open a few eyes on the percentile of "voters" who would be affected by the new law. Many professional politicians are ignorant to who the average "Joe voter" really is. Love it!

Messaging with my vet right now as he sits there. It's pretty serious right now and there's some pretty heavy stuff the "other side" is bringing to the table. I'm working on a rebuttal for him right now because these people need to show some numbers! I'll keep you posted on the info I get.

Good!
People need to email and write letters, it got tabled until next month so they have a few weeks to get tons of letters sent out.
