    Here is what the bill says:

    On April 23rd 2009, The Natural Resources Committee of the U.S. Congress will hold a hearing on H.R. 669, a resolution that will in effect ban importation, interstate transport, and the private ownership of most birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish as pets. Should HR669 be adopted as written only the following nonnative animals would be allowed:

    -Cats (Felis catus)
    -Cattle/Oxen (Bos taurus)
    -Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)
    -Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris)
    -Donkey/Asses (Equus asinus)
    -Domesticated Geese (family Anatidae)
    -Domesticated Ducks (Anas spp.)
    -Goats (Capra aegagrus hircus)
    -Common Goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus)
    -Horses (Equus caballus)
    -Llama (Lama glama)

    -Domesticated Pigs/Hogs (Sus scrofa domestica)
    -Domesticated Rabbit vatieties (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

    Should this resolution be adopted into law as written it will have a devastating impact on every pet owner and business in the United States.
