Jesse,
A ban on sales and purchases will prevent anyone from purchasing these species even the "serious keepers." How can any future "serious keepers" obtain these animals? After your gator dies and you want another one it will be illegal to buy a new one. It is about PA fish and game doing their job. They need to regulate folks with permits, cage requirements and husbandry experience. Florida has a system that works well. All animals have caging requirements. For venomous, 1000 hours experience must be documented. Some form of this is your answer not bans. Taking away the rights of PA citizens to purchase and sell these animals is wrong. Why is it wrong? Check out the US Constitution. Requiring them to safely and properly care for these animals is reasonable. Bans are the lazy way out and not the answer. You do not have the authority to give away your fellow citizens rights.
