Florida's Wildlife Commission will also discuss the below changes to Captive Wild Animals as well as the previously announced Rehab rules.  They have not yet drafted the proposed language and Captain Harrison wrote this morning saying, "Drafts of proposed rule text have not been completed.  Information will be provided at the June workshops.  We will also provide a time frame after the workshops to allow for public comment."

From monitoring the animal users chat rooms I know they are threatening lawsuits against the FWC and state of FL over the new bond requirement.  It is important to keep this bond requirement in place as it is the only way to force Class I owners to behave responsibly when they have no other assets for an injured party to attach.  I have also been informed that some key staff members at FWC do not believe sanctuaries should be allowed to exist in FL.   If the only places in FL who could possess wild animals were places who use and abuse them, then there wouldn't be noisy people like us trying to put an end to it.  Please mark your calendars to attend the meeting closest to you and be prepared to speak up for the cats.
