Take it to the park. If people want to make a big deal over nothing then let them. Just make sure you use the no touching rule. Let people see it but nobody touch. It's not right to give in to the ignorance in the world because people act like someone took a dump in there cereal bowl the site of a not so typical pet. It's your pet and you have every right as anyone with a dog, cat, bird, or whatever to go out and do the same.
