Ugh. I was reading up about this a minute ago, and I came across the HSUS' site. One of their reasonings to support this ban is that "a dozen people have been killed by large pythons in North America in the last decade."

There are probably a dozen pitbull killings/maulings a week in my state alone, and I still don't support breed specific legislation...

I understand that their argument is not one of logic, but of persuasiveness to support a further agenda. It just bothers me.
