What sort of legislation is currently being pushed through that warrants such an immediate call to action? I'm sure someone with a pen and a little too much pull is currently shooting from the hip, trying to ban breeds they have no experience with (beyond the beloved "Jezebel" article). I'm just curious as to where this is coming from. Any links etc...?

You can read about what's happening under the Savannah Cat Legal Chat forum. Here are a couple of the most recent threads:

Hi Little Joe. California is the latest state to consider banning Savannahs, Bengals and Chausies. The Animal League Defense Fund and Big Cat Rescue are the ones pushing it. They wrote a petition to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) who will review it in August.

West Virginia just wrote a nasty piece of crap regulation banning the ownership of "Dangerous Animals". It was approved without a list of animals. The list is now out and it includes Savannahs as well as dangerous animals like rabbits, sheep, turtles and sugar gliders (I kid you not!). If this is not over turned, owners would need to pay $100/animal/year and carry $300,000 of personal liability insurance. One person received a quote of $700/year for her 2 sugar gliders.
