What's absurd is your lack of logic. We are talking about public safety and risk, not whether something is or can be "dangerous." Anything can be dangerous. Scuba diving is dangerous, and results in many fatalities every year. Many children die from drowning in pools every year. Dogs send tens of thousands of people to the hospital every year, and kill about a dozen per year. I guess we should ban scuba diving, pools and dogs?

How many people have been killed/attacked by escaped/released snakes in the US over the last 50 years? How many of those were innocent bystanders (ie, neither the owner nor someone handling the snake?)
