Victory in WV...sort of.
Here some good news, I think, but there's no telling what they will deem dangerous.

zooherper (3/8/2012)[hr]Well, got this news this morning direct from the DNR director, and here is the press release:
From the Associated Press:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Delegates have slowed enforcement of proposed exotic animal restrictions by requiring the Division of Natural Resources to write rules specifying which animals would be regulated.
After hearing from upset pet owners, House Judiciary committee members became concerned Wednesday that small pets like turtles, parrots and gerbils would be covered under the bill. The bill states that exotic animals to be regulated must be physically or biologically dangerous to humans, livestock and West Virginia wildlife.
The rule-writing process allows for public comment and would require the Legislature’s final approval of regulations next winter before the law could be enforced. It would also give the DNR more time to determine which animals would require permits and to set fees.
You can always tell when it is an election year...elected officials will always pass the baton on the controversial stuff.
