My main problem with this, is I've grown up with all sorts of snakes and it is one of my hobbies: snake raising. We also have a parakeet that we love dearly, and after he dies? And what of the fish tanks, will they soon start becoming extinct with the exceptions of goldfish?
While none of these need to come from a breeder, I'd like to point of the whole snake adoption thing. We have tried adopting three snakes total: 2 ball pythons and 1 corn snake. The corn snake died within a week of our care, and both ball pythons ended up being rehomed because they were full grown and vicious. There was no way to feed those snakes or even get them out of the cage without full arm oven mitts if you know what I mean.
I don't know where they will get the funding for this, to go around and shut down breeders or the such. Isn't this what we've been trying to do all along? I'm just not very happy with the way this bill was made, maybe if it was made a bit more clear about what they want to do. Either way, I'm on the fence. |
