"The Ohio Division of Wildlife plans to present its findings by early March. So far, the division has received about 40 e-mails and more than 90 comments to its website."



As an Ohioan, I have to say that I am amazed (and maybe a little ashamed) that we've had such a poor turn out. And it's not just the snake people, but all exotics owners. Whether your animal of choice was on the list or not, once the list exists, it will grow, there's no doubt about that.



Have we come to a place that we are tired of the fight and ready to give up? Or, do we think those listed on the proposal deserve to be banned? Being from both communities (exotic owner and Ohioan), I am flabergasted that we've barely responded to the EO and proposed ban. Or, has everyone been going directly to the Governor's office and ignoring the ODW?



I really am curious to understand why the turn out was so low. If anyone has an idea, pleae let me know.



Thanks,



Mark
