It is cultural bias. It is a prejudicial opinion. A preconceived notion not based on facts.

That is why it is so important we continue with the battle to educate America.

The easiest way to get these guys attention is with the All Mighty Dollar. That's speaking their language. They have to be shown the economic benefits inherent with "Exotic" keeping as Companion Animals, Display Animals, Educational Animals, or Pets.

Law Makers have to be shown the true cost of "animal control" for these animals is in fact a minimal portion of the entire animal control issue. Animal Control personnel can easily and cost effectively be trained in such matters.
