What do WE Think...................
Posted by Snakey on December 27, 2002 at 00:11:04:
as a whole because that is the most important!!!!!
Read over these laws and get ready for what may be coming your way as well as mine. What will "they" think of banning next that many enjoy? Could it be hunting? or making speeding a felony or......It isn't that far fetched when you actually sit and think about it. Cars kill more people per year than dogs, are they going to outlaw cars/trucks/suv's? NO!!!These items make "them" money. and far less for reptiles, including large snakes or lizards have ever been fatal to humnas. Mostly if the incident occurs is due to human error. Also, there has never been an account of a snake 10 feet or smaller ever killing a human that is on record or through legends. Well, I am not going to ramble so check check out these facts I have posted. Hope you enjoy........

This is the Netherlands what has been proposed.......
The Netherlands (Holland)
January, 2000
Taxes planned or in place:
1st dog, $100
2nd dog, $200
3rd dog, $300
4 or more, $400
There is also news of possibly making dogs a tax object and taxed at $10/kg, which is not directly breed-specific, but discrimination on those who own larger dogs.
updated: March 19, 1999
A Special Thanks to Tonia for the following information
"Pit bulls" have been banned in the Netherlands since 1993.
The proposal was passed during the week of March 18th, 1999...now the five breeds of dogs that are deemed 'dangerous'
Listed are:
American Staffordshire Terrier
Fila Brasiliero
Dogo Argentino
Mastino Napolitano/Neopolitan Mastiff
ROTTWEILERS.
will be required to pass a test not unlike the following
The test consists of 43 parts, ranging from a plastic hand messing with the dogs' food bowl to someone - again with the plastic hand - harrassing the dogs' owner.
So what about the smart dog that will hate the plastic hand after 5 parts of the test and bite it, not wanting to bite the person holding it at all? It will fail the test.
Or what about the peaceful dog that will never be himself again after being subjected to 43 threatening and annoying circumstances in such a short time...
Being subjected to a test like this might well do a dogs'character some harm... A dog is 'allowed' six bites during the course of the test..."
Here is Toronto where you can't own certain dogs, many frogs, most pyhons or boas if not all due to the rare few being endangered or very expensive. Also, you can't even own a turkey where there are more rural and areas only habited by few. And honestly there is more open area in Canada than the USA and many can own them here, For Now, until they outlaw that too......Check it out...........
