the question should never be if the animal has a bad repution then it shouldent be a pet, as long as a person can care for it in the proper way than i dont see an issue with what someone has, i could care less if my neighbor has a gold fish or a tiger as long as they both have everything they need to live. and i believe there should be some more strict laws as far as who can keep what kind of animal, and im not refering to just tigers and bears and what not but even dogs and cats...the answer is not to ban animals just restrict the idiots who can get one. all bans do is make people go find them harder, so if there is a better way to govern people i dont think there would be all these bad cases for the aspca to use against everybody, i also think they need to be better educated before they are out giving advise, if they are gonna want people to help the cats and dogs then stick with that and stay away from the world of exotics just my 2 cents tho
