Most folks who keep Australian reptiles are aware that the feeding of live prey to captive reptiles in Australia is illegal. I was just wondering if such a law might be useful here in the US.
Would such a law prove useful for protecting herps and discouraging keepers from putting their pets in potentially dangerous situations? Would it be useful for increasing the businesses of full time prey breeders? Would it be useful for encouraging and promoting reptile keeping in general as a humane hobby? (There are organizations which seek to promote it as inhumane)
Any thoughts?
