I'd have to go back. We asked for an exemption under the law, I believe—yes, that's probably technically correct—on the advice of legal counsel. I want to be very clear, though, that I don't recall arguing that under that particular legislation hunting and fishing would become illegal. What I do remember arguing on that issue was the fact that the bill, at the time it was being discussed, would open anglers, hunters, farmers, rodeo riders, trappers, medical researchers, and a whole host of people in regulated animal-based or animal-use industries, however you care to define it, to frivolous and vexatious charges in the courts.
