Seeking Information

[Yamitaifu]

Hello everyone,

Recently I was given a research paper I have to write. I decided to do it on the the bans we suffer as keepers of these amazing, misunderstood animals. I was hoping that some of you might have information that could be used to argue that the bans are nothing but a bunch of crap with little truthful information to back them up. Statistics, arguments, anything that can be used to prove that the bans were caused by lack of knowledge or ignorance is helpful. I know that many of you have come across articles and hopefully you will share them. Thanks!

Look into the amount of people killed by dogs since 2000 and how many large constrictors killed in the us. It was like 200 CONFIRMED people killed in 14 years. And like 3-4 for snakes.

I believe USARK has some talking points somewhere on their site about it, but I'm not sure where. You might be able to contact them and ask for resources (links, or names of papers to reference).
