RI approved rules effective April 2010

[Seru1]

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.

I can understand you may not mind, my question it what gives the government the right?

I am definatly against animal abuse, but thats a problem a community should handle not a government. When we the people do for ourselves, things get done. When the government tries to do for us. Things get worse.

Honestly I don't have alot of money, and I hate having to bow to some worthless politician who has the IQ of a goldfish and getting some permit and paying a fee. I probably could not afford this fee. And I work hard to take good care of my animals.

Plus as with all government offices you can bet the test would make no sense, and getting the permit would take forever. And it would be hard to find out even where to get one.

Requiring permits would hurt the industry.



I don't want this to sound like an attack. Because your an individual with the right to have your own opinions. I am just passionate about this.
