Jumping to conclusions, and then broadcasting them as fact when they are merely conjecture serves no purpose.

I happen to live in Virginia, where the governor has stated simply that he intends to review the laws. I sincerely doubt that the Republican governor, who is currently jockeying for national office, would want his stamp of approval on such 'burdensome' regulation.

At this point it is VERY premature to state unequivocally, as you have done, that VA will ban exotic pets immediately. Not to put too fine a point on things, but the statement that VA is actively moving to ban exotics is, at this stage, false. More succinctly, a lie.

If your notion of disseminating information is to shout "fire" in a crowded theater so that you can find a better seat, then you have a lot to learn when it comes to preserving your credibility.

So again, tone down the hyperbole.
