Don't shoot the messenger or anything, but with a few modifications I actually think this is a good idea. I am a horse rider, and they have the same type of law in place for horses to prevent the spread of certain diseases. If you are taking your horse over state lines, or are traveling more than a certain number of miles, then you just contact a vet and have the test run. It has cut down the number of cases of the tested diseases by about seventy or eighty percent, and hasn't done anything negative to the horse industry. It's just mad horses healthier. If they add hobbyists, or something along those lines to the bill then it would work better probably.

About this law not effecting natural populations.... We do have an effect. Frogs escape, or are set free by people that don't know better(and I'd like to point out that the people on here are much more educated than the average person when it comes to frogs, and some of those people may own frogs). There are a lot of invasive populations out there, and we need to educate people to reduce this. Native populations may be resistant to very different types of diseases than other types of frogs. By reducing the number of diseases on these frogs, we are reducing the amount of damage being done to native populations.

***Please don't yell..... I'm just giving my opinion as another frog lover and owner.***
