i voted, and i will keep voting every 24 hours until the poll closes.
(i have a variable IP adress that changes at least every 24 hours and the provider has a pool of tens of millions of IP adresses. Really. Pollsters from the USA often forget that.)
Also, i made a thread redirecting to this thread in General BPs, specifically about the impact it has on BPs, and mirrored the poll over there because it clearly would hit ball pythons.
Should the City of Ottawa ban all exotic snakes? Yes or No, poll open.

VOTE. (currently: 71% for 29% against at 1533 votes)
one other thing: to better coordinate our response, and our anger and grief, maybe some temporary changes to the website could make sense. Like a banner redirecting to a page that links to the different threads about this and that contains some information. Maybe the forum section this thread is in needs a more prominent place, its currently a sub-forum not visible unless you click on "General Herp" first. Maybe this incident temporarily deserves its own subsection directly in "Site General". I dont know what exactly, a banner would make sense, but i think the structure of this forum can maybe help in focusing energy and providing structure for our response.
