"Oh well It Could be Worse" Syndrome

You say that enough and eventually they are at your door taking your snakes. They eventually make the permits to expensive and way to hard to get effectively killing the industry. It's a tactic that works in increments.
I can only partly agree to that. Especially depending on whats required to earn a permit to own the animal in question. I dont think its all that wrong for the government to step in if they see a growing problem of abuse and neglect thats not being handled by those providing the animals for purchase.
I like not having to apply for a permit to own my snakes, but if it ment taking a short test and maybe even paying a small annual fee in order to keep thousands more from being neglected to death, then Im ok with that.
