That is pretty much crap. The government derives its right to govern by the consent of the people and the majority wins. In large part I agree with Chris, though I would say its been irresponsible ownership of big snakes that has been the problem, not the snakes themselves. Market forces have not provided a solution nor have breeders stepped up to the plate to developed and enforce any level of self regulation or even adopt ethical standards. In the absence of these, I fully endorse regulations as a means to solve the problem as long as the process is open, transparent and keeps the interest of those who would keep these animals responsibly in mind.
