City Proposal 6 reptiles total Ordinance

[Westcoast]

Just found out today that the city where I live is considering a proposal to limit the amount of reptiles/amphibians to a total of 6.All these municipal codes are getting out of control. Looks like a may have to relocate soon!

What city are you in? Any links?

Well, don't just sit there, go to city hall and speak your mind. Ask them if they plan on limiting the number of fish a person can keep in an aquarium too. How are they going to enforce this? What other types of animal ordinances do they have? Recently in St. Paul they passed an ordinance against keeping sugar gliders. There was a notice posted in the paper about the impending city council vote and there was plenty of time to send in comments. You know why the ordinance passed? Because NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON showed up to speak against it. A lot of these laws get passed simply because there is nobody voicing an objection.

I will not be sitting on my hands ! I have drafted a letter to the city council and am encouraging others to do the same. I will be at the next council meeting with facts to present to the public. Under the current proposal even dog owners will be limited to 2 dogs. This is a rural city that lies on the edge of the feather river in northern calif. I will be posting in a more active forum titled letters to the editor that will be viewed by more of the puplic than thier post comment section. If this proposal passes I will be relocating across the city limits into the county.
