Dingell Bill Seeks Federal Zoo Licensing and Control
Ralph de Toledano criticizes H.R. 6631 introduced by Rep. Dingell proposing a Federal Zoological Control Board to license owners of captive animals from a single rabbit to a large menagerie. The plan would create new agencies, funding, staff, and inspections with licenses based on examinations. He warns it would burden zoos and families, cost millions, and distract Congress from energy and economy concerns.
