Dogs and cats, a few of the countries most powerful political organizations that make millions in donations, fund raisers, and have lots of political clout are the HSUS, AKC, UKC, most zoos, and others representing cats and dogs. These organizations make it clear that they do not want us to have reptiles, they support all organizations that try to ban exotics, they make it clear that they want you and I (the common person) to adopt dogs and cats, not to buy or adopt reptiles, birds, amphibians, inverts, etc.
There are good and bad people in these organizations, unfortunately when they use political power against exotics and their money, the public and polititions listen. Who do you think the "experts" are that the polititions who seek info on exotics, for the purpose to pass legislation against us keeping them? These very same organizations. In fact the humane society worldwide supports banning exotics for the common person, unless you are a zoo.
Theres no excuses, believe me, its easy to find these orgaizations backing the proposed laws against exotic pets.
