    It seems like all developed countries are trying to reduce pets. Everything they did says that they want to reduce and finally eliminate pets or companion animals from their place. Dogs and cats is the strong majority so they firstly do it on the rest - the "exotic pets", reptiles, small mammals, birds, and now even fish.

    I myself am a wild animal person, conservationist, but I do also agree and support people properly keeping captive-bred reptiles and others as exotic pets, as long as they do it the right way, and they choose the right animals to keep.

    Regulations (HK and US) are already very tough for exotic pet owners there are already a lot of unnecessary limitations for them. Now things seem to be getting worse. Pet owners in this circle is a true minority and always keep themselves silent. What they do is just to enjoy a hobby silently and peacefully with their companion animals.

    Now the US government is trying to go through a bill to ban ALL exotic pets very strictly. If it gets passed, now it is the US, then Canada, and eventually it will affect all over the world. Here is a video says it all. Do something to support American animal lovers!

    yes I agree with you regarding exotic pets, so long as they are looked after correctly and the right animals picked.
    Well I hope this is stopped but what do you mean "it will affect the whole world"?  Other countries will just source their animals elsewhere.  We already have trouble with the US regarding the transport of whalebone in Maori flutes and pendants.  Maori don't hunt whales they use the bone that is left after whales beach themselves. Maori and the NZ Department of Conservation work closely together disposing of whales that haven't been able to be saved.   Yet the US has a blanket rule and couldn't care less about anybody else's situation.
