Re: I want to get a berm any info would be great
GTA limit is 3 meters. Oshawa "area" is no boids. I agree it's "stupid". I also agree (from what I've heard) D&D barked up trees they should not have, not to mention the state of the shop was very below standard.
Regardless, if you do get caught, you get fined and your animal is taken from you. Where do you think an illegal 15ft snake will be taken up here? Or your 10ft boa for that matter?
I dunno, I don't see it as risking "getting caught" I see it as risking the life of an animal you've made the decision to be responsible for. Meh, but what do I know right?
I would saying the thinking behind making big snakes illegal is that people tend to be impulsive, and that people who have no business keeping big snakes / venomous / insert other potentially dangerous animal here decide to buy one in the moment, from a vender looking for a sale because they just want it so bad right then and there. Maybe the cool factor, maybe infatuation, maybe status. In the end there is danger to the owner and people around them (if not properly attended to) as well as a danger to the animal that will likely be given up once its luster wears off or it becomes too much to handle.
I think the laws are legitimate. I also think that serious keepers should be able to go through a lengthy permit process. But then, I'm glad they don't sell automatic pistols at the quik-e mart, maybe I'm a rare breed.
