Anything that requires registration then becomes a public record (at least in my state of Wisconsin) that your neighbors (or theives) can access to either harass you or burglarize you. Insurance companys also can access these records. they already use them to cancel homeowners insurance on owners of dogs they consider to be high-risk. Type in "insurance" in the search box and you will see lots of past discussion threads on reptile owners losing their homeowners insurance when the company discovered they had reptiles or other exotic pets. Type in "theft" or "stolen" and see how prevalent collection thefts are.
