Small Collection Owners / Ban Poll

[pilot511]

how would anyone know about your collection? If you were just low key about it, no one is going to knock door to door or anything...I'd keep what I have and just keep under the radar.

That depends--if I have only a pair of the animals, how much value do I have invested in them? I might move if I have sunk a lot of money into them. I think I would sell or adopt them to someone out of state, if they weren't of high monetary value.

I would certainly not keep them and risk problems to the rest of my collection and business.

I bet a high perecentage of people on this site already keep their animals illegally, i guess im not allowed to say "I do", but i will say check your city's laws, you might be surprised. i know i was surprised.

You do have a good point. You can just go with state laws you have to check your city and county laws as well.

As much as I hate it, I would stop all breeding plans and keep them all as pets. I have no availability to move and I don't know who I'd be able to give them to or how I'd transfer them if they became illegal.

So I'd be pretty much stuck with them anyway because I won't put them down.

I would risk it for a while, and then when we are ready to move from the new house we bought, I'd look for another house outside the state if it was possible!

[BILLB OKC]

more government intrusion to protect us from ourselves.

what a bunch of crap.

I am sorry, they will have to pry them from my cold dead hands.

[HypoPita]

Hurray for government misunderstanding its "responsibilities".

If my state did an outright ban, I would move. This would be a cop-out, but I already am wanting to move, because of multiple laws here that I do not agree with in the slightest. CCW, MMJ, Freedom of Speech, ect..

If I was somewhere I liked, I would fight tooth-n-nail. It's not right of them to do things like this, and if they pass such restrictions and find no resistance, there is no stoping further and more extreme legislation. Foot in the door, people, it's what they've been doing for a long time now....I don't know how so few of us see that. Thankfully BPnet is full of the smart ones

When there is a pinhole leak in the dam, you don't ignore it; you try like heck fix it before it explodes open and takes the entire structure down.

The governemtn already knows regardless of what they do people will still own these animals. They mentioned that yesterday at the hearing. I cant remember his name but he was sitting in the middle

The way i see it is if the govt bans them then i want a bail out. The banks got a bail out. And i want top dollar.
