This does not look hopeful, really.
On the bright side, we can still keep the snakes we have, right? They won't take our snakes away, will they?
I know many people whose pitbulls were ripped out of their childrens' arms and euthanized for "safety" and all that really accomplished was to scar families forever. They had to watch ol' Spotty waddle away with his tail wagging knowing that he would never come back.. Because some government person says he's dangerous.
I have never been bitten by a snake, and that says alot because I used to crawl around in the ditches and catch them when I was tiny. Now, I could understand if they had some sort of size limitation, but this is just stupid.
I will agree that anacondas and retics can be dangerous when they become big enough to swallow someone, but if you're crazy enough to own one, chances are you're willing to take the risk, and you know what you're doing, you know?
Also, I bet that NOT ONE of the people supporting this ban have ever had a pet snake. They've probably never even held one. That says alot in itself.
