Policing Ourselves

Abstract

For those of us who keep, breed and
enjoy birds, the ban on importation of
wild caught birds in New York has had a
marked impact. Even though it may not
directly affect us in our own states, the
law can be likened to the falling of the
first stone preceeding an avalanche.
Anti-exotic animal sentiment has been
around for quite some time, however,
organization of this sentiment into a
political force is recent and quickly
spreading.
