West Virginia Seeks to Prohibit All Exotic Animals

[sorraia]

Obviously the legislators ate not using the established definitions actually used in the field of biology, because of they were, they would realize they ate effectively banning every animal kept as a pet, including domestic livestock. Even using the very loose definition of "anything other than a dog, cat, or domesticated livestock" that leaves a broad list, possibly including rats, mice, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, all birds (besides farmed poultry), all reptiles and amphibians, fish, and more. Even livestock is open to debate, where some would consider things such as llama and alpaca as domesticated, others wouldn't, bison and some deer may be considered domestic, but others wouldn't consider them such. Even the definition of "domestic" is vague and open to some interpretation.

Unfortunately the general public doesn't seem to realize how much kool aid they are being fed.
