There are bad pet owners in the world. There are good pet owners in the world.
There is good and bad in everything. This is a world of duplicity. Rescue people typically only see the bad and want to start banning things instead of educating. Should people who work at child abuse centers start suggesting that we outlaw having kids? NO.

Outlawing things usually does very little to correct the problems. It all comes down to education, and taking responsibility for ones actions.

One more thing, what a pompous person--saying that ball pythons are "required" to go to the vet twice a year! Give me a break.
