Right from Animal Planets Website - http://animal.discovery.com/tv/fatal-attractions/5-exotic-pet-laws.html

"According to Alabama's "Thicket" magazine, someone really set on owning a dangerous wild animal could do so whether they live in the country or in downtown Birmingham.

While some residents of these five states might not be surprised to learn a risky animal is living next door, would you? Without federal regulations to keep things in check, having an exotic pet as your neighbor might not be as bizarre as you think."

If you get contacted by Animal Planet - like some people I know have, don't give them ammunition!

They contacted Brian Barczyk for example -
