ok. so i hear parts or all of the US are having laws introduced in regards to owning exotic species... including snakes...?
well for good reason this has been the case here for a long time.
but i am more interested to know how you all would react if they then changed the laws again for dancers.

thats what happened here a few years ago. they brought in the 'demonstrators licence'
so basically you have to apply like a business plan which is fair enough.. and i think its good to keep check on these animals.
and i would be happy to pay a heft fee to apply (BUT you still loose if they say NO..... OUCH!).

i enquired some time ago and sussed out my chances, they didnt believe people like us should be allowed.
only if you wore karkee outfits like bindee irwin (who lives near me funnily enuf) would they take you seriously.
i have been to many parks around my state and there really isnt much difference bar the fact my animals are in a loving home and not just thrown on every tourist that comes along.
basically they wont accept that the few of us out there actually LOVE our animals and spend alot of our time educating the public out there.
apparently we cannot possibly educate wearing something other than karkee.

i am about to try the authorities again... but really curious to see how you would challenge this ruling if it came to your area.
ideas anyone?
