Ohio Zoo Prairie Dogs Escape

Wisconsin considers these dangerous wild animals and has banned them because they infected ~50 residents with monkey pox 10 years ago. Consider the irony of the executive order applying only to private individuals. Didnt they also have a rattlesnake escape last year?

Immagine if these escaped from a pet store or private individual. They would have focused on the diseases they carry and there bite and this is the reason we need these laws to stop people from having these dangerous creatures! Only zoos are capable of caring for them.
