If a few states choose to make legislations against these snakes it is much better than a full U.S. ban.
Yes but the state is not choosing to make legislations. Andrew is proposing we have them. Our state is fine the way it is. We have no problem with exotics. Just because he is proud of something he did in north carolina does not mean we want the same thing in south carolina. The law as written has many loop holes. It gives officers rights to take your animals for 5 days if they feel you shouldnt have them. The facilitys they will be taken to will not be set up to handle exotic animals. Maybe if andrew would reply to me and tell me why he feels the need to do this or any member of usark for that matter. BUt I will be fighting this law and I urge anyone living in south carolina or va to fight as well. South carolina is a great palce to live if you own exotics because we basically have no restrictions and I feel thats the way that should stay. It will ruin our shows in sc. They will be just like the nc shows and the ga shows.
