We have been Heard!
I spoke with Letitia today and got wonderful news. She informed me that tarantulas were not meant to be on the list; and that she did not believe the NMDGF had jurisdiction over "insects". Letitia said she was 99% sure they were going to remove tarantulas from the Species Importation List; should they decide to keep them on the list she said they would list them under Family, Theraphosidae, instead of under Genus or Species.
Letitia is going to keep me informed of the process and the changes made. I will keep all of you informed, as I get new information. At this point in time we are told we do not need to worry.
Please do not send any more copies of the Species List, Genus List, or copies of my Letter of Request. If you have personal comments you would like to have heard, I encourage you to contact her. She would like to hear some individual voices on the matter.
Thank you to everyone who helped put this together, and to everyone who responded. The hobby in New Mexico owes a great debt of gratitude to all of you.
