    Re: USARK Action Alert: WV Reptile Ban

    That’s ridiculous! Honestly I would just keep it to myself and make sure nobody found out about my animals. I really don’t see how this ban would help at all. Yes there are risk for introducing invasive species but that doesn’t mean you ban owning them. Boats can transport invasive species like zebra mussels but using a boat on different lakes is not banned... As long as people are educated and proper precautions are made there is minimal risk. The only ban that makes sense to me is on venomous animals. Although I think permitting is suffice. Also, cats are one of the worst invasive species we have yet you can go and buy one at PetSmart for $30 no questions asked... They decimate bird populations yet there isn’t any legislation like listed above for them. I think the majority of issues arise from lawmakers having zero understanding on the animals they’re creating regulations for. They’re treated more negatively because they’re seen as more “exotic” because they’re not fluffy. I highly encourage everyone on this app to look into and join USARK.
