New DEFRA legislation regarding importation of inverts

http://www.cfz.org.uk/blog/invert.pdf

Property is theft, and I have no problem in pinching stuff from the British Government, especially when it is this *.pdf document. In fact, if I am to be completely honest, I have no idea whether it is legal or not to post UK Government documents to the CFZ website, and I don't really care. However, having received a copy of this document a few days ago from Paul Batty at the Entomological Livestock Group, I thought that I should make it generally available to people on this blog.

These changes to the law mean that I could probably no longer import Puerto Rican cave snails into the country, although I will still have a damn good try. But interestingly it says that the import of moon moths would now be illegal because their larvae could potentially become a pest species in the UK.

What bloody nonsense.
