This story is crazy but here's the deal and why it should effect all of us IMHO:
This is a perfect example of why this NEEDS to be illegal.
I watch that show on Animal Planet about the obsessed people who nearly of do get killed by their exotic animals...99.9% of the time the person has emotionally unstable psychological issues and the animals are being starved or otherwise neglected i.e. improperly cared for even when put in nice clean secure cages and well fed.
I do NOT believe in owning animals that can potentially kill you...but I further believe it should be ILLEGAL to own NONNATIVE SPECIES that can kill you.
Look what pythons are doing in FL...
heck look at the idiot two towns over from me who had a rare albino gator shipped from FL to here-it ate his dog and nearly the neighbor's small children...you see n o one here expects or should have an reason to be concerned about letting their three small children play in the back yard and further believe the kids are doing anything more than playing when they scream about an alligator in the yard... |
