These are in the same category as laws that prohibit the smoking of chicken feathers on odd tuesdays, or wearing tall hats on sunday.

SF is not to be confused with mainstream California. SF Public employees are eligible for a free sex-change operation on the tax-payer dime - has that spread to the rest of the Country?
I will give you that, but what does that have to do with a law making it illegal to sell animals in a pet store? Keeping a snake and getting a $25 fine is completely different than selling a snake in your pet store and possibly losing your license to operate?

If that's the case, why were poeple, all around the country, trying to defeat the Florida SB 318? We all know these types of laws are all the ammo these fringe groups need to further their agenda.

If we allow these groups to take bites out of our hobby, before too long they will have eaten the entire elephant.
