You can thank that Idiot who is the republican frontrunner in the presidential nominations for that law.I am a life long Republican with Libertarian leanings and I can tell you that if he wins the nomination I will ABSOLUTELY be voting for the libertarian canidate next year. The first time ever in 20yrs or so that I have been voting. Not only is voting for that stupid law hypocritical (how can you say you oppose terrorists when you pander to the demands of our own home-grown domestic animal rights terror groups -alf, elf and such?) but it causes problems for people in other states like fla. I am totally convinced that a large percentage of the burmese pythons running around in the everglades are the result people in N.Y.C. ignoring this stupid law and buying their snakes in neighboring states (Penn. maybe?? I bought a caiman there when I lived in N.Y.-it's dead and I no longer live in that crappy commie state up yours N.Y.) and then transporting them to the everglades on trips to visit family in the Miami area. My advice would be to either ignore the law and keep quiet about it or get out of N.Y. while you still can. I lived in upstate N.Y. for 9yrs prior to coming to Fla..."Escape from N.Y." is not just a John Carpenter sci-fi film to me. Florida and Texas both have no state income tax are less restrictive on many instances and while both are proposing permit systems for Large boids neither is proposing total bans and smaller boids and Iguanas are fine. N.Y. went from being the 2nd most populous state when I moved there from Texas in 1986 To the Third most populous state behind Cal. & Texas a few years before I moved to Fla. in 1995(25 mill. to something like18 or 19 mill. ouch!!!) and even Fla may be ahead of them now. There is a reason for that, check it out.
