That's pretty bad. What in the heck was USARK thinking? Making large constrictor owners keep their animals in secure enclosures.

Even worse.....

Each enclosure shall be labeled clearly and visibly with the scientific name, common name, number of specimens, and owner's identifying information. A written safety protocol and escape recovery plan shall be within sight of permanent housing and a copy shall accompany the transport of any of the large constricting snakes. The safety protocol shall include emergency contact information, identification of the local animal control office, and first aid procedures.

Too much effort for me....

I could go on..the section on venomous reptile housing is just as draconian. It would force people to keep venomous reptiles in secure enclosures. I'm a true believer in that I should be able to act as stupid as I want in the confines of my own home. I mean, other than my wife and kids, who am I endangering? They are my wife and kids after all, if they are harmed by my negligence then so be it........at least I'm free to do whatever I want.

I appreciate your mocking sarcasm but I am entitled to my opinion, so go force yours onto someone else... oh does the bill mention who will be coming into your house to make sure your following all regulations and how often?
