Here are some thought to ponder about this subject.

1. This is a Florida problem exclusively and should be handled in Florida by Florida law. You don't punish the entire nation for a local problem.
2. This is being pushed by Bill Nelson Senator of Florida, PETA and HSUS.
3. Politicians operate based on action reaction. If they ban these and there is no adverse reaction then they continue banning others believing they are safe from public backlash because they believe they are either doing this unnoticed or no one cares. It also ingratiates them to their supporters in PETA and HSUS.
4. Regardless of your view on the keeping of large animals this issue cannot be ignored with the idea that because your animals are not on the list you are safe.
5. I believe, based on the information I have been given, that this was a test to see if any one cares enough to make this a huge issue. If they can slide this under the radar then more may be on the way.... So please do your part to "Turn up the heat" and let them know this shouldn't happen in a free country. "At least its somewhat free for now!!!"
