Seems like this newspaper isn't too keen on snake keeping...

it's always the orlando sentinel..

now its down to 68.8% :D

I was just going to post this but since I took the poll the link goes straight to the results page. If others can't get it go on usark.org and see if there is a link to it from there. So far its 579-yes & 276-no.:(

65.9 :d

It registers your IP so you can't vote twice...

well i voted with all 4 of my computers lol :)

Apparently there's two of them!! Vote no on this one too if you can.

Done and Done.

the second one was a little more difficult to decide. For the large constrictors i think you should have to get a permit. That will deter the wrong people from getting a snake that they dont know how to take care of or will release into the wild when it gets too large

It's a lot closer now. :D :D

Unfortunately, FL already has a permit system in place for burms. The people who owned the burm that killed the toddler did not have a permit and owned the snake illegally.

I agree though, now reviewing the second poll a bit more carefully, it's not so cut and dry as the first.

come on we just passed 50%..we need ur help everyone vote no!

the 2nd asks if it should be made harder,,so the answer is no,as there is no way to make ti harder int he state,without a complete ban on large constrictors,now if there was no permit,then making it harder would be an option

No is winning

Watch closely as they adjust the results to fit their agenda as they did in a similar poll a few days ago.

What happened? I missed this.

Three or four threads below this one titled "Newspaper editorial - we need you to act today".

No won 67% people vote No :):taz::taz::taz:

It's at 72.6 now almost 100 percent turn around. :gj:

WOW!!! 72.8% NO and 27.2% YES... WE ROCK!!!! Kept spreading the word!:banana::banana::banana:

72.9 percent say no, now! The other one is a bit more depressing though. *sigh*

However, it's great to see how the reptile community is rallying!

I voted earlier, but after I got home, "There was an error processing your request"

Finito! :D

This voting is still active!!!! I just vote no second time from my cell phone keep an eye on it !!!!

I just voted and it was a BIG FAT NO!.

Even though I don't live in Florida, I know how much people around the world love snakes and I am always happy to vote NO on banning snakes!

NO- 74.4%
YES- 25.6%

WOOP WOOP!!:D:D:D

Thank you Byron Larson..
