I did read the original post.
This is a discussion forum, not a voting forum. Should my town decide to further legislate pet ownership, then I'll concern myself with that when it happens.
Public safety issues are always subjective, which is why there is so much variation in laws from one municipality to the next. You provided the non sequitur by asking why cars or scuba diving aren't prohibited as well.
You seem to be unable to grasp the basic differences between the activities (personal transportation, wild animal ownership, diving), their impact on the public at large (driving is mostly viewed positively, diving is typically a private activity that does not endanger anyone but the participants, wild animals in captivity can be ticking time bombs in the wrong hands) and therefore the differences in legislation of the activities. Car owners/operators are typically licensed and insured, as are divers.
It's unfortunate that you can't seem to understand the nuances. It's to your own detriment.
