Maine officials euthanize legalally owned snakes

[chairman]

I just checked Maine's law. They have a list of animals that you are allowed to own without a permit. Anything else either needs a permit or cannot be owned.

The list is quite dumb. You can have a blackheaded python but not a woma. You can have a BCC but not a Dumeril's boa. It is unclear whether BCIs are allowed but I think they're technically forbidden; but no fear, that blood python you want is available. And on and on.

Still, even poorly conceived laws need to be followed until they are corrected. Maybe this is the lawsuit that brings Maine's exotic pet laws into the age of reason.
