Just last month, a Connecticut woman was severely mauled by a 200+ pound pet chimpanzee. Ask your senators to support the The Captive Primate Safety Act of 2009 (H.R. 80 / S. 462) which prohibits interstate and foreign commerce in primates as pets.

I have an idea - all exotic animals brought in for sale as pets or amusement, the importer and purchaser must pay for the long term care of those animals in a proper and healthy reserve - not a zoo or a circus. I don't care if the fee is removed from their pay till the day they die.

Please show your support of protecting our wildlands and wild creatures by signing this petiition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/The-We-Learned-Our-Lesson-Bill

The US imports over 3,000 different wild species every year, without doing a risk assesment of what could happen if it did get out and start breeding.

From the current 30,000 Burmese pythons eating everything in the Everglades, to the 2003 monkeypox outbreak from the Gambian pouch rat, to Asian carp that spread from aquaculture farms to the the entire Mississippi River Basin, it's time to speak up for our ecosystems and the economies based on them.
