Of course she is a writer for PETA!!! ugh. PETA is so ridiculous, though I agree with her statement, "Who 'NEEDS' a pet anaconda?" I know she also said boas and pythons, but those are okay in my eyes. Anacondas are massive snakes and I honestly don't see the point in owning one. I have always loved snakes but for me owning a snake is a learning experience. It's not just a "pet" it's education. The more I learn about snakes the more I want to share my knowledge and inform others of them.
She really has no clue what she is talking about. If the ban is only banning transportation from one state to another I honestly don't see the point of the ban because people can still own them and do what they want with them. May be harder to get this way but people WILL still have them. Unless they make a species illegal to OWN the ban to me has little effect. Here in California, ferrets are illegal to own because the state is afraid people will release them like they do cats and they will just breed and breed and destroy wildlife. I personally think that's crazy. Ferrets should not be illegal. And snakes should be able to be transported where they need to go without fuss.
I dislike PETA. =/ I dislike laws that make amazing animals illegal.
