I can empathize with what you're talking about, but I feel like you're going out on a limb with a study like this.Originally Posted by Deborah
Seems to me that you are not grasping what has been going on those past couple of years, cat owners do not have a target on their back (well not yet) snake owners do because right now they are HSUS easiest target. Right now in case you are not aware there are people who want to take away your right to own reptiles, no one want to take away your phone or your keyboard
You are comparing apple and oranges here.
I understand everyone is sensitive because of the most recent issues concerning the species that have been targeted recently. But I feel like the reasons those animals were targeted is VERY different than ball pythons or corn snakes. I think they were much too harsh with the law passed concerning these species, but I agree TO A MINIMAL degree that there should be some regulations concerning dangerous wildlife, such as there are with lions and other large predators. The average citizen shouldn't own a pet alligator, lion, or 20 foot long retic. However, to make such harsh, general, and sweeping laws regarding these animals was ridiculous. We should have found a compromise, similar to venomous snake permits in many states.
Nevertheless, I'm not worried about the future security of my ball python collection.
