We don't put rights to a popular vote in this country (luckily for a LOT of folks). Rights for individuals and responsibilities for the government are enumerated in our Constitution. Said constitution says nothing specific about exotic animals, fish, birds and reptiles, so we have to fall back on the "pursuit of happiness" guarantee. Clearly if you wish to infringe on someone's legitimate hobby or interest, there MUST be a strong, compelling societal interest.
