What an idiotic and poorly worded law. WAY too vague and open to interpretation.

Really? So you believe corn snakes should be illegal in in all of the southeastern states? *Owning* an animal is very different than *capturing* one.

Even if your statement was changed to state that you are all for not capturing native species, I still couldn't agree. Some native species are very plentiful and the wild populations are in no danger. Even those that are in some danger are probably not significantly harmed by the few that might be collected from the wild. It is habitat destruction that is endangering most of them. In some cases, capturing the few that remain and then starting a captive breeding program may be the only hope the species has for survival.
