    What if there was nowhere to move? What if boas were banned all across North America? Would you move to Central America?

    Thats why these bans fire me up so much.. None of these bans mentioned apply to me in any way, but they are still of great concern to me because it's only a matter of time before they try to do the same thing where I live! And I do not want that!!

    So I feel a responsibility to try and nip these things in the bud BEFORE they apply to me ;)

    "Oh well, doesnt apply to me" doesnt cut it in my books, because one day it could very well apply to you ;) (this is not directed at anyone in particular, just wanted to provoke some thought in those who might be sitting there thinking " I dont live there, who cares? doesnt affect me")

    this type of things comes up cause of peoples misconsception that all snakes are cold blooded killers... and they think this cause of any movie theyve seen with snakes in them, and any movie you see like anaconda or snakes on a plane anrt even real life situations....so basicaly we can thank all the movie directors and hollywood for giving our beloved pets a bad rep.

    so what i have so far is this:

    this is only in vancouver... and vancouver is only one city which makes up "the lower mainland". the lower mainland is the name of all the cities combines, as there is no space between them anymore. new westminster, burnaby, north vancouver, richmond, surrey etc are not implementing this bylaw (at this time).

    surrey tried to 4 years ago and it was voted down.

    I'm already down as a donator for this, I hope there are more of these out there aswell.

    As for whoever gave me the negative rep points for my last comment above, why would you give me the negative rep and not put your name if you really feel so strong about it?
