Local breeder screwed over by neighbors!

You are correct if you make it about just snakes.
Instead make it about property rights and allowing others irrational fears to impact your freedoms.
If what you do does not real harm then there is no need to govern it at all. If there is harm or potential for harm then only those aspects should be governed.
i.e. A crazy cat-lady could create a health risk for people and the animals but, a dedicated cat fancier could house just as many felines without those risks.
The problem needs to be addressed not the symptom.

Hope that clarifies it a bit.

And, it never hurts if affected communities can get behind a person like this and help fund a defence.

I suppose we could rally for world peace while we're at it too, eh? For someone who likes to see his own words so much, you really don't have much of use to say.

The guy moved in, had illegal animals and got busted. I suppose finding out why and when this ordinance was put into effect and what the proper procedure is for changing it never entered that sharp little mind of yours.

This is no one's problems but Cobbs's and he brought it on himself. It's not up to us to change this. If you want to change the way things are done where you live then you need to NOT be the cause of enforcement of what you want to change. Proactive, not reactive.

And a house with a hundred cats, the crazy cat lady minimum, be it a dedicated fancier or whack job, still has NOTHING to do with keeping snakes.
