Hi Flavio!



We don't get many members from Rome, Italy. In fact, you're the first one I've ever seen here.



Please forgive me for being the skeptical lil' rascal that I am, but I can't seem to find anything about Rome or Italy's dangerous animal laws referrencing snakes, only cats & dogs. Do you have a link that I can view some of the laws there?



You may very well be legit so I don't won't to offend you. However, I will be myself, out front, open & honest.



I sincerely suspect that you could be trolling for ammo. You see, we just so happen to have a situation on our hands here in the great United States of America involving large snakes as suspected dangerous animals. What a coincidence, 'eh?



But to show you what a sport I am, I will go ahead & tell you the truth (it's my nature) about the dangers that large snakes present.



I feel that it's more likely for a person to be killed in a car accident or several other "normal" everyday activities than by a large snake. I believe statistics shows this to be the case.



I have never heard of an innocent person (non-keeper) being killed by a captive snake or one that was labled as "escaped" or "released." So, if people want to take a chance of getting into an automobile accident by driving, then I say, let 'em drive. Oh, wait, we do. Good. Keep it that way.



Yes, domesticated dogs, not undomesticated snakes, pose the greatest danger to society as far as animals are concerned. But, darn it, not too many people are afraid of dogs.



Have a great day!



Oh, please don't forget to post links to Rome's dangerous animal laws, I'd like to see what foreign communities are doing, saying. Thanks!
