| Message | Why should people be allowed to keep wild animals in cages? There is *no* good reason for it, there are enough animals that one can have. Besides, the line between dangerous and non is a very thin one, keep any wild animal in a cage for long enough and it can become dangerous. There have been stories of squirrels attacking people, stories of various "non dangerous" birds attacking people. This bill is not good enough, and any International Greens members who voted for this will be reported to the Greens. |

| Message | Why should this mean keeping them in a cage? Why not keep a squirrel as one would keep a cat? |
