Zero tolerance policing is never a good thing for a community. But then an animal control officer is not a police officer.
While I would never take a snake to a park I certainly don't see the issue with it. Especially a BP. No harm there. People have the right to be afraid of them but he has the right to enjoy the park as well. Why should one persons fear dictate anothers rights?
Im tired of everybody tip toeing around people because they may be offended, scared, or need a safe space. Life is hard, get a helmet! As a nation we have become soft and it makes me sick.
