A recent announcement of plans to publish a call for comments on how to regulate and reduce disease spread through the amphibian trade has been met with a lot of speculation and worry. We have put together a Fact Sheet on the subject that explains how this came to be, what is currently going on and how interested folks can have their voices heard. It can be found at: http://www.amphibianark.org/pdf/US_amphibian_trade_proposal.pdf
Taking 5 minutes to read this attachment carefully and I would bet a clearer, calmer picture lies ahead!

Is there an update to this proposal? Similarly, I heard that the undersized turtle FDA regulation has been ordered by a federal judge to be re-examined.
