Any legislation that stands to BAN any animal is a bad law, period. There are people who would keep these animals properly and have the knowledge, funds, and space to do so. I think there should be laws in place that regulate how the animals are to be kept and have minimum experience and enclosure requirements for certain animals, but not outright bans on the animals.
I for one, would love to have a Serval. They are illegal in my state, which technically bans ANY African mammal. These laws are all fear based and it's quite sad.
