All it takes is for one person to know and be unhappy about it.

It could be a friend of the guy said something about it too loud in public, it could be a neighbor...it could be anyone that ever went to his place or that he talked to about it or anyone any of those people talked to about it.



keep in mind city hall does things like this when the PEOPLE come in and complain...

I witnessed a similar event about 10 years ago or so with the big cat foundation.



People are filled with fear and then go screaming to the city council to try and get them kicked out of town or have the animals removed because they don't like it in THEIR town. Part of having city council meetings is so that people can go and bring up issues they are concerned about in their city. So after its brought up in a meeting if the council decides the person has a legit complaint they are going to pursue it or at least check it out.



Think about it this way...

If a person came in and said "hey look this other person has poisonous snakes" and then city DIDN'T check it out. Then it turns out the guy didn't have proper permits and just let them roam around his back yard on the honor system that they won't run away and kill the neighbors kid...

Imagine how happy the people would be when someone DID get hurt. They would ALL scream "WE WARNED YOU AND YOU DID NOTHING!!" and then the lawsuits would start.



I wouldn't really want to live next to him either but at the same time just because you don't live next to someone with them doesn't meant they aren't right outside your door anyway its not like we don't have native poisonous snakes in Florida.
