>>Most breeders and dealers do not consider their animals "pets". They maybe future pets but under this definition it sounds like they are not taking this into account. This is more animal rights agenda being pushed. I am sure academics or those that come from academia have a big hand in this. Many of them push the AR agenda whether they admit it or not.

While I am fully aware that very few breeders refer to their animals as pets (in fact very few even name them) they are being housed in a home environment, unable to sustain life with out your assistance and require maintenance from the owner. That does classify as pets. My burmese python if let to fend on her own, would quickly die oh say september as the frosts hit. I have already spoken to the people involved and stated my opinions, however we as reptile owners also need to read the laws and take advantage of how they word things. If exotic animals are allowed only as pets, well then your snakes and lizards, all several hundred of them, are now your pets.
