I for one oppose the ban, even though I do not own any of the considered to be banned species. However, they banned Pit Bulls in Dade county Florida for similar bad publicity reasons. To my knowledge they are still the only banned species of dog in that county. We don't really know where this will wind up, but we should back each other just in case. I just moved from NYC. The laws there are terrible now, no Iguanas, ferrets, hedgehogs, venomous reptiles, and NO Pythons of any kind. Let's hope we aren't headed in the same direction for everyone else.
