Why do you think folks shouldn't be allowed to keep venomous or crocodilians? I'm a privare person yet I once owned a permitted Croc Farm and bred 11 species of crocodilians including hatching hundreds of Crocodylus rhombifer. In fact I don't think anyone or any Zoo has ever duplicated my success in species bred. My smallest enclosures were about half an acre and my largest was over 5 acres. Why would I be denied a permit to have crocodilians based on your assumption that I don't have the ability to keep them safely and successfully? In over 35 years of selling and handling thousands of venomous snakes I only suffered 2 bites and both were thru bags NEVER when handling them. Only one bite was suffered by an employee and was his error because protocal wasn't followed. Your making assumptions that aren't based on real knowledge or on anyones ability because you simply don't know enough about the Industry and many of the folks involved...
