But what about the economics of these proposed laws?

I think requiring permits for the keeping of wild animals (or any animal) might be a good idea, if it were reasonable. You hear about animal abuse/neglect all the time, iguanas have been a real sore spot recently because petstores didn't tell customers how to care for them or how big they get. We have licences to drive cars so why not for animals? Course if you've been to dmv recently it might give you an idea of what might happen. Permits require paperwork, which requires employees to handle the paperwork. Then there is enforcing these laws. Banning exotics completely is easier on the government because it doesn't have to mess around with permits, the animals are simply not allowed.
