What happened here in Florida was that while everyone was discussing what might turn out to be more or less a useless permitting system based on dangerous open ended legislation
the activist were already working on bigger plans .

After the permitting system anti ownership groups immediately tried to get a law passed requiring people to tell their neighbors what they were keeping. Essentially like a pedophile has to report their presents in the area. When this failed Carole Baskin of the Big Cat Rescue contacted Florida Fish and Wildlife and got a list of all the permit holders. A map of where many of these people lived appeared in a local paper . In addition she sent out a letter to all the neighbors of permit holders warning them about the dangerous animals living next door.
