Re: Green Anaconda Trying to eat a dog (vid)
...it is those kinda videos that are making me have to fight for my right to own snakes....all it takes is for one dog loving, snake hating person to see that video and call a legislator to keep people from owning snakes cause they can do that to a dog...that is exactly what happened in Louisiana...ONE person made a phone call to a legislator and now my right to own snakes is in jeopardy....
...garbage photos and videos of people and animals getting harmed by reptiles is not what needs to be displayed and spread around...
....sorry if I am a little irritated....but if the new LA bill gets passed....in order to own any constrictor (like even a rosy boa), I am going to have to let the government in my home to inspect everything and purchase a permit for each animal....every year....and it is pictures of man eating snakes and talk of how they kill people and their animals that are driving this bill...
......this is directed at anyone that loves reptiles.....sorry to kinda get off topic with this....
....
....please stop the spread of this kind of material that is harmful to our hobby.

I agree. My grandma doesnt like snakes, and thinks mine will hurt someone. Yet, we have a golden lab, that gets all worked up and jumps on visitiors. She's an 80 pound dog, and if she jumps on someone the right way, being a young child or an elderly person, she could do harm. I really hope you dont have to worry about the goverment coming to your home and making you get a permit.

Exactly how I feel. It is these kinds of videos that get on my nerves.

The post was not directly aimed at you, so no apology needed.
I would just like everyone to realize that this kinda stuff is ruining our hobby. I have even been responcible for posting similar stuff in the past....but it will never happen again.
Videos and photos of "when snakes attack" and irresponsible people that own reptiles are KILLING this hobby......and I don't really think it is a good idea to support any of it by spreading it around.

Legislators like this because its also a great way for the government to get extra revenue from the permit fees.....in fact that probably the real reason why so many of them are for it! And it easy to enact on a population that loves their dogs, and knows nothing about reptiles....
There can be little doubt that the number of people killed in this coutry from dogs vastly outnumbered those evenly seriously injured by any reptile....
Heck it seems like every month if you watch a tidbit of local news almost anywhere you see rotweilier or pit-ball disfiguring someone for life.....I think extra permits for these animals are more warranted than permits for most snakes/reptiles

I am not for censorship......however, because in the long run its education about reptiles and reason that makes people un-fearful of snakes.....
Personally, I don’t think anyone expect zoos, museums, and research facilities should own a hot snake or a snake as big as an anaconda.....these animals belong in the wild.

I really don't think that is it. I am pretty sure that any revenue from these permits go to the LA conservation fund. These politicians are voting for it because they are uneducated on the topic and are being pestered by animal activists. Creating a bill that is so general like this.....they are going to have to hire new people to process the permits, space to file them, time for inspections to take place, etc....no extra money there....the permits probably wont even pay for themselves. You have to really think about the range of reptiles that this effects....basically every snake in the pet trade. and you also have to be aware of how many people own smaller constrictors....

No one said anything about censorship. Education is about effort. It is alot easier for someone to watch a 3 min video clip of a snake biting a person or constricting a dog and forming an opinion, than for them to research an animal and open their mind. I only asked for people not to spread this trash.....that is not censorship.

Thats how it gets started....then it develops into noone should own any reptiles because they belong in the wild.
The current qualifications to own venomous snakes or constrictors over 12 feet in Louisiana consist of getting 500 hours of approved handling and care experience, having your enclosure inspected by the DWF, applying for the permit and paying the fee, and risking not being able to own these animals if something were to happen. I see nothing wrong with those qualifications. But putting those qualifications on someone that want to own a ball python is just crazy.
