MessageWe believe it is animal abuse to allow people who don't know how to care for exotic animals to own them. Let's let zookeepers do the job for which they are trained.

MessageI concur. Exotic animals include many pets that you may think are just natural as can be but are actually exotic. Many birds come to mind and so do many reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. Also, my favorite of the list is Chinchillas. These could be the best pets I've ever seen. They're so cute and fluffy like a bunny mixed with a kangaroo.

MessageI concurred with the proposal just to clear.

Also, in response to PLP's comments, you never supported any sort of restrictions on people owning other pets. Why are exotic animals special. This is a large range of creatures as are the pets you consider domesticated. Why does one have to be especially educated to own these and not others?

MessageDomesticated pets like dogs and cats, and parakeets and fish, people know well how to care for. And we actually did want them to be licensed by the local government to guarantee they had their rabies shots and all.

MessageYes, good job KPP. Also, the govn't regulates this market. Training will be required (see description) for someone to own these exotic pets.

MessageAlso, just because they're exotic doesn't mean they're harder to care for than normal pets.

MessageExactly.

MessageIt may be argued that as wild animals will not be kept in their natural habitat they may experience undue stress or psychological damage as a result.

MessageYES

If I want to keep a pet Puma, I should be allowed.

Message"It may be argued that as wild animals will not be kept in their natural habitat they may experience undue stress or psychological damage as a result." - And dogs and cats naturally live in houses?

    Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining.
