This is imperative that everyone signs this as it will be the testing ground for other states to impose the same ridiculous restrictions. NPWS are targeting ALL animal shows where the rules they wish to impose are so strict, it will make it impossible to hold such events in future. If you want to continue to enjoy reptile expos, dog shows and so on then do your bit.

Please sign and share!!
