The rule plainly states that those who keep Muscovy ducks and have them when the rule is implemented will be allowed to continue keeping them. It also plainly states that those who raise and sell them for meat will be allowed to continue. The rule is trying to get controls on an invasive species. I happen to agree with that process. The darn birds are a mess here in FL. Our local public libraries and other facilities with ponds or creeks have Muscovy feces all over every bench, bush, sidewalk, tree and building on the property. Why? Because the little old ladies from NY, NJ, MA etc. come down here and feed them and think they're the cutist little critters, straight out of Disney. The cities can't get rid of them because of public protests from animal rights groups and tree huggers. This rule allows common sense control of an unwanted, dirty, non-native species. Shoot 'em or wring their necks and let the gators have 'em. :roll:
