I do have a question for you actually. When they spoke to you about the proposed ban, you said when the animals wouldn't be paying for themselves, you'd have no choice but to put them down? I was wondering if I heard that right.
Thats what you heard, but if you listen as the announcer rudely interrupts and doesn't let Trey finish, he says "or keep them as pets". I am sure that the "putting them down" part comes from if this ban is passed, and all sales, breeding etc is stopped with pythons, and all the other "non native" animals are done away with, rat breeders will soon shut down, rats will not be easy to come by and we will have tons of animals with no food source, no way to sale them or relocate them to somewhere where they can get food, then what is there left to do? Its a very hard thing to think about, and hopefully us pythons owners never have to worry about that, but that situation isn't far from reality if we don't get something done to prevent Washington from banning the pets we love so much.
