There is current legislation under way in the US that may significantly affect our rights to work with amphibians, reptiles, birds, invertebrates and non domesticated mammals. In this special episode I am joined by USARK President -Phil Goss, and we discuss the Lacey Act Amendments in the America Competes Act of 2022, where the bill is currently, and what the effects will be if it is passed into law. Phil and I also discuss some of the misconceptions associated with the bill and how we can work responsibly together as a community to combat legislation that would damage it. For more information please visit usark.orgFor Amphibicast Merch please visit: https://the-amphibicast-store.creator-spring.com/If you would like to support the Podcast, visit: https://www.patreon.com/AmphibicastFollow @amphibicast on instagram
