I stand by what I said. If this comes up anywhere else then show up in person if this really bothers you and that you enjoy where you live. Make a stand. It's not difficult to do. I'd do it for you but the problem is they don't care about me since I live in Canada.

Oddly enough I find myself in agreement with Aaron. At least I can say I fought the Dangerous Animal Act in Ohio.

Good for you.

I hope some good came from it.

Yes, in contrast to other animals, reptiles got the far better deal after quite a bit of a lobbying push. Licensing requirements for snakes over 12ft and venemous snakes are still rather restrictive. (Crocodilians got the bad end of the deal.) There is still a lawsuit pending, and while I'm not getting my hopes up, I am supporting the organization who brought forward the lawsuit.
