Are they going to do something about the carnivals giving out baby igunas as live prizes or is that going to continue while you can't own one?

My biggest issue is that if the permit is turned down -- the state's issue is euthanization of the animal. Just once, I wish politician's had a little more sense when creating law!

(E) If a person does not appeal the determination of the chief or if the court affirms the determination of the chief, the person shall do one of the following regarding the dangerous wild animals or exotic animals that are possessed by the person:
(1) Transfer the dangerous wild animals or exotic animals to a humane society, wildlife sanctuary, or facility that is an accredited member of the American zoo and aquarium association;
(2) Have a veterinarian euthanize the dangerous wild animals or exotic animals.

I meant to say the State's Alternative not state's issue
