    However, I was also informed that if this bill passes we will lose every python / boa no matter what size they can grow to.

    I asked about permits and was told that permits were not going to be for private ownership, only for institutions deemed acceptable by the state.

    I HATE HAVING TO FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING MY BELOVED PET !

    That is all the info I have at this moment.

    Maybe they should ban politicians. I would vote for that.

    Yeah, I was wondering that too. I don't know squat about cats, but I know a LOT of people who have them. Normally I would say I can't believe they would ban house cats and dogs, but now I really don't know.

    If this ban goes into effect, we will be buying some land in Wyoming before Jan 1st, 2014. See ya Ohio! :mad:

    E-mailed them as well from out of state, sending the link to family/friends so they can do the same. Good luck fighting the lame propaganda.

    Dear Ms. Gath,

    Thank you for writing to share your thoughts on HB 352. As I stated to the media, and to local stakeholders, including owners and breeders of reptiles, I view the Strickland executive order language as a good starting place, and I am open to recommendations for improvement. I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in a meeting of Governor Kasich's workgroup, and appreciate the direction those recommendations are taking. I do intend to make some changes to the bill as it moves through the legislative process, and I welcome your suggestions on ways to improve it. Thanks again for taking the time to get involved, and help work toward good public policy in Ohio.


    Sincerely,
    Debbie Phillips

    x2 I just got the same exact message but with my name. She's sending mass emails like we did.

    I responded to that same email asking if she was also going to propose banning all dogs then try to tell pet owners that it's okay "We'll probably change the law before it passes so it only bans certain dogs..."

    It's ridiculous and they always try to say "Oh we'll revise it so YOU won't be affected" in hopes that everyone will shut up and let them pass the full ban laws whole.

    I personally think someone should propose legislation banning ALL DOGS and see how outraged pet owners get, then use that outrage to bring attention to the unfairness of banning so many pets just on the basis of one or two small incidents that did not involve any human deaths.
