Proposal for required $100,000 liability insurance per animal???

[Salamander Rising]

The bill they tried here in Nebraska was the same, it would have required $100,000 in insurance to keep an iguana (among other things), plus posting signs in your front yard saying 'dangerous wild animal on premises', which is a real hoot.

We beat it--fortunately, the Nebraska herp society and USARK came through, and we got a good number of people showing up at the hearing, which REALLY MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. The paper letters also make a difference.
I'm personally not sure that petitions matter at all, and e-mail isn't as nifty as paper to these guys...most of them are older, and e-media doesn't seem entirely real to them.

So, if you want to beat it, send paper, call them, and SHOW UP, in the flesh--and talk to them.

An Iguana?!?

WTH?

Did you outfit yours with razors and spikes and train it to attack?!?

[personally, I'm arming all my snakes...which is kinda hard to accomplish what with having no arms and all]



"posting signs in your front yard saying 'dangerous wild animal on premises"

Huh.
I bet hubby would like one of those for me.
