It's not like he had them in a eating establishment or even a public park. They were in a PET STORE!! Where people should come expecting to see pets. If you have to hide what you love, then maybe you really don't love it that much.
Shame on me for being smart and trying to avoid having all our rights taken away? By understanding that in general people are VERY afraid of snakes and do not like seeing these animals in public?

You believe I don't love my pets because I'm not taking them out of their specific husbandry and habitat requirements and showing them off to a less than friendly public?

Shame on me for loving my animals so much, I don't want them taken from me because I decided to take a stroll with them in front of those who would see my animal as dangerous and a killing machine?

Right.... I must be off my rocker!
