I'VE GOT IT! Never mind a band on giants. I say its teenagers that we need to band!
I couldn't help it, everyone else was making jokes.
I'm not sure if I commented on the age issue or not so here goes. I feel that age should not play a factor, just years of experience. If a permit system was in place that granted permits based on experience then anyone regardless of age could have a giant as long as they had so many years of snake keeping under their belt. I know such programs exist in the states for keeping hots. You have to have so many hours experience working with hots in a zoo or some other controlled environment before you are aloud to keep one as a pet at home. Its like the whole re-testing seniors for their drivers license as a way to get un-safe seniors off the streets. Some people say it is discriminatory to seniors. Well if they re-test everyone every five years then all bad drivers both young and old get taken off the streets. Well I know a lot of adults that are far more immature then any teenager could ever try to be. By issuing permits based on experience both young and old incompetent keepers are restricted from owning a giant.
