What it sounds like to me, is just another way to "bilk" citizens and pet owners out of more money!<BR/> While snakes are wild animals, so were dogs and cats PRIOR to their domestication. Why then, aren't permits needed for dogs? The Presis Canario is one of the most dangerous dogs known to man, BUT no permit is needed to obtain and keep these as pets.<BR/> I feel, and it's just my opinion, that snake owners SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MICROCHIP THEIR SNAKES with the device listing the name and home number of the owner, and the owner SHOULD be required to display a certain MINIMUM AMOUNT of knowledge of the care and husbandry of their particular species of snake, but a $100.00 permit is too much!Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067717384445113781noreply@blogger.com
