applying for usda permits to ship roaches

Matt, I'm really getting to like reading your responses here on the forums more and more. You take what is said, think about it and return w/ a volley of legitimate proportion. And though playing devils advocate isn't going to get one the glory. It may solve problems within communities down the line.

You are absolutely right. We talk a good game but when it comes right down to it no one has an alternative solution to the problem. You did mention banning together and I recently heard an interview on Reptile radio w/ my bud Kev McCurley from NERD up my way in NH and he suggested the same exact idea you just did. Setting a plan like that in motion would take a lot of tenacity on the little guys parts. Namely us!

As for the last statement. I like throwing that out there to jostle things up a bit. Though I truly believe someone, somewhere made a HUGE mistake that day. I'm from Massachusetts and it sorta hit home when I heard that a couple from the next town over from me (North Attleboro) was on one of those planes. I didn't know them but they lived like next door to me. Anyway to save the thread and get it back on track. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or someone who hates America. I love America but don't trust a soul in the US government as far as I can throw them. The whole 9/11 episode for me leaves me a bitter taste w/ our government and if I could I'd throw it back in their face every chance I got. Plus don't think that I judge all Muslims just because of a few "Bad Apples". No religion promotes violence and killing innocent people.

Alright back on track w/ this topic! Sorry to open that can o' worms.

:P :P Would you believe,

I finally got a response for a USDA APHIS permit from Az,Il,ND,Pa,Va from my applications i submitted april of this year. Would you believe the response is for Gromphadorhina portentosa and NO PERMIT IS REQUIRED for

interstate movement, but so far just the hissers. Progress, I guess. Thanks again for all the input guys.

 
:angry: Well,

I got replies from 28 states so far for the other roaches and this is what they said

''We have evaluated your application for the interstate movement of Blaberus

discoidalis, Blaberus fuscus, Blaptica dubia, Eublaberus posticus, and

Nauphoeta cinerea for use as feeder insects. We have determined that this

activity represents an unacceptable risk because the destructive potential of the

plant pest to plants, and parts and products thereof, should it escape despite

proposed safeguards, outweighs the probable benefits to be derived from the

proposed movement and use of the pest. For this reason, we can not authorize

your request. Our authority to deny such requests is in the Code of Federal

Regulations 7 CFR 330.204(a)(2)."

And the Hissers are coming back with no permit required, i guess cuz they cant reproduce as well as these others in our climate--- OH WELL I Tried

 
What states have you received replies from?

Well the replies that denied me permits all came back that no permit needed for Hissers, just cant ship the other roaches i applied for-Lobster,Turkistans,Dubias,Dwarf cave and Orangeheads.

 
Just throwing this out there:

I was sure I had posted a recommendation that this topic should be left alone/ not brought up anymore. But again, it is just my recommendation....
