Laws in your area!

[Yness]

I had a great idea for a thread that moved to a great idea for a feature on my website that I am making but I need some help from everybody!

http://www.city.winnipeg.mb.ca/clerks/pdfs/bylaws/3389.83.pdf

The above link goes to a copy of the bylaws that state what exotic animals are banned in the City of Winnipeg...it is specific about the snakes that are banned too. If anyone knows a link to the laws concerning herps in their area post it and of course what area they are from. I will compile the links and create a quick reference as to what herps can be kept where. That is I will organize the links so that people have a resource to look to when they want to know the legalities behind the animals they want.

This idea will only work if everyone pitches in and helps so please do and I will work on it too.

Thanks

Yness

St. Thomas, Ontario:
http://www.city.st-thomas.on.ca/docs/Bylaws/53-96_Dogs_Running_at_large.pdf

Page 4, Item 10
No person shall keep bees, a horse, cow, donkey, mule, pig, goat, sheep, goose, turkey, chicken, duck, pigeons, venomous reptile, snake longer than 60cm, reptiles longer than 30 cm. from nose to vent, cougar, fox, wolf, skunk, raccoon or any wild animal or some of or all of them.


London, Ontario:
http://www.city.london.on.ca/Cityhall/CorpServices/CityClerks/bylaws/animals2000.pdf

Page 14, Part 12, Class 5 Animals
No person shall keep more than 2 Class 5 animals in any dwelling unit or on any premises.
No person is permitted to keep a non-venomous snake that exceeds an overall length of 60 centimeters (24 inches).
No person shall keep a non-venomous lizard that exceeds an overall length of 30.48 centirmeters (12 inches).


Basically, London and St. Thomas suck.


As for what a wiki-web is, you can check it out at www.wikipedia.org. They run a community driven encyclopedia there. Any member can edit or contribute to any existing article or create a new one. We've used them at work to collaborate on stuff.
