FWS Files Final Rule/ Constrictor Ban

[Freakie_frog]

Let's make this parallel...

I totally support my next door neighbor's right to own a few cats, even though I am allergic to them.

BUT... The very second they bring home a Lion or Tiger, I have a serious problem with that.

Does that make me a hypocrite or narrow minded?

I love German Shepherds, but I don't want wolves living next door, either, in case they DO get out and kill the local doggies and kitties.

I LOVE Colubrids, but if I found out someone in the upstairs apartment had Cobras and Mambas, I have a serious problem with that as well.

Hypocritical? Should everyone be allowed to own anything, just because I own a Corn or Milksnake? What about Rhinos? Should they be free to own them as well?

Not trying to offend anyone, just throwing more thoughts out there...

Granted there are some animals like big cats that simply aren't pet's. And yes the big nine require special education and previsions. People fear big snakes but have no problem packing their kids up sitting them on 30 gallons of explosive liquid, them tieing them down and locking them in a 4500lb box of steel and glass and intentionality propelling said box at speeds of 60+ miles an hour with hundreds of other people in boxes of steel and glass filled with liquid explosive..Now who is being irresponsible..We even allow minors to take these risks but no can't own a big snake those things are dangerous..
