Regulate: To control or direct according to rule, principle, or law.
Like I have been saying, too slippery of a slope. Am I the only one who notices that parts of the bill actually contradict eachother? The word livestock is almost always used in agriculture, I have found very few references using that term differently.encourage going to a reputable breeder or shop or expo or convention is all i see this bill doing.... how is that a bad thing???? accountability hopefully:clap: ...
ow by the way in the new world, the term "livestock" incuncubises a wide range of animals including non-domestics or animals intended for commercial sale....its a broader term than just cows, pigs and the such....but i guess that might be a big city vs small town kinda thingy huh???

Well yes I know the dictionary definition but how is that used in their context? Why would they say regulated live animal markets? And if that is true then what would the point of this entire bill be? I'll just see how it works out, not my state anyway. But why would usark be so concerned if this bill was just to regulate live prizes at carnivals. But if it didn't apply to fairs couldn't you just win fish there? Rendering this bill useless? Too confusing.
I think you misread my post. Except for the first one when I didn't read the bill, my argument is that this bill won't affect the hobby.
Why am I not allowed to urinate in public? Why can't I do my shopping naked? Why can't I beat my girlfriend every time she pisses me off (not that I would ever think about doing such a thing)? Because there are intrinsic morals and values inside 99% of us. Unfortunately, the other 1% doesn't and that's when regulations need to be put in place.
Wow...Catering to the minority...
The things you mentioned are completely unrelated to the issue at hand. public sanitation and personal protection are a far cry from the sale of animals. While you're at it, why don't we stop the sale of books out of agreement with the majority, or better yet, burn them! That'll put people in their place!
what about the taking of creationism out books and god out of the pledge of allegiance crap???? and dont even mention gun laws ummmmmmm, its always funny to see what soap boxes one chooses to stand on when its something they are in favor of...
The things I mentioned was in response to your statement of "Don't support legislators who vote for nonsensical and unnecessary laws".
dugh... is, forgive me here but its a little comedic don't you think...whats with this pandemic view of legislation to curtail the exploitation of animals.....dont you think one Florida is bad enough???? 
I have seen signage in many pet stores that say "No Guarantee on Livestock". In fact i have a few tanks purchased from pet stores that still have labels on them stating just that. I really do not think they are selling Wilbur the pig outta there.
its typical of a socialist government to attempt to CONTROL every aspect of your life, from telling what kind of car to drive to telling you what you can sell and where . DOWN WITH SOCIALISM vote for the Constitution party!!! Seriously tho. It is a sign of the times that all this socialist agenda is getting shoved down our throats. And it surprises me that the democrats are wondering why many in Texas talk of secession ...mind boggling. We have way too many bloody laws now. Most of which are actually Illegal. If the constitution does not give that power to the government then The government can not claim that power. . Period. Next thing people will be saying that the 2nd amendment applies to the military and police only. and forget what infringed means. Good grief what a bunch of idiots we have become .
