That would be a strategic decision. They could sell off the approved list, move out of state, or just absolve. Would be up to their board or whatever there members agreement gives operational discretion to.

a major online retailer relocated from florida to NYC in the last few years, probably saw this coming. If it comes to fruition, the wise will leave.
The thing I find the most ironic about this entire banning thing is we, the hobbyists, will be the ones to save it all when they finally ban tourism and coastal living which is the leading cause of collapsed marine ecosystems by a few hundred thousand light years. Because if they don't do that there is no hope ... at all. Zero. None. Sorry beach lovers. It's true. Not so sure with climate change why people are even living on the coastlines. You would think if it was a dire issue that we would start moving everything important inland.
Where there are no people there are flourishing marine ecosystems. Even in Bikini Atol. My cousin, who dives for the military, and his crew dive all over the world. Sometimes they can't see because of the amount of fish swarming them. Want to know something else ironic? The big plastic island in the middle of the Pacific has a tremendous amount of life around it. He says it's insane the amount of life that is there. So the ocean can deal with trash. Can't deal with humans.
It just looks like fish and coral collection will just get more expensive.
This is all a ploy to make it look like they are doing something. It's easy. We are easy targets. Everyone knows what the problem is. No one cares. Not really.

Would hope not. If it’s a whitelist they would probably just sell what’s on that list.

The only state near me with a whitelist is Maine. Which, I find odd given the climate, aside from natives nothing can survive the winter. Florida has an ecosystem that could support rapid evolutionary radiation.
The result of ME having a whitelist? ME license plates in the fish stores i visit. prohibition never really works.

The reality is if they stayed in Florida they would not break down. They would just liquidate non-approved animals and increase the other stocks. If they ban all but 50 fish on Monday, by the next month the local fish stores would be selling as many fish as pre-ban. 90% or greater of this market in vanilla: what’s in the store consumers who buy whatever is in the store and pretty. Ordering off line is for more advanced hobbiest.

I will say it now. - petitions don't matter. This is similar to the Hawaii ban - except it FL. I posted this months ago - there are people out there that say (paraphrased) - aquariums are not good. When will everyone realize that there's always a special interest group - that wants to kill this hobby ? https://www.peta.org/issues/animal-companion-issues/cruel-practices/fish-tanks/

So I have a pack of German Shepherds I have raised from birth it is absolutely how you raise them some of my GSD’s brothers and sisters are working with Narcotics, CBP, and PSD’s. I can take all four of my dogs out front off leash and they will not leave our yard, no electric or hidden fence btw, they don’t chase anyone, don’t bark, only time we have had an incident was when a neighbor let their dog charge me barking and growling my dogs only reacted when the ****zu hit my yard off leash as well and tried to bite me. Also if you do your research most dog bites cases are from small dogs like Chihuahuas, and other miniature breeds.

Exactly. Only law-abiding snake owners will comply with this draconian law anyway. Criminal and thug snake owners ain't givin' up their snakes! It's better to have a snake, and not need it, than to need a snake and not have it! So much for commonsense snake control! lol

sadly, due to overbreeding, most dog bites are from golden retrievers. they tend to be very mouthy when removed from their mother too soon but yeah pomeranians and chihuahuas and all the little white rat dogs are usually the reactive dogs
