America and pet laws..

[El Kabong]

alcohol and tobacco has killed and will kill more people than wild animals or wild animals kept as pets. And alcohol and tobacco are heavily regulated.....still doesn't keep people from making moonshine which also probably kills more people than exotic pets. Guns are heavily regulated and it doesn't keep people from stealing them, acquiring them illegally, and killing other people.


Laws don't always do what they are intended to do. Also laws don't make people free or safe, laws take away freedoms and in some cases make the world LESS safe (see prohibition of alcohol and of illegal drugs)

Humans are animals.

If I lived in America I should have the right to keep one as a pet?

I don't want a midget I want a big strong human. If I have the right to own any animal I have the right to own him.

Let people do what makes them happy so long as it doesn't detract from your natural rights....what is so difficult about that?

See ownership of a human infringes on that person's natural rights....cute choice to go with that as your argument though


Beanflicker, you're more likely to survive a plane crash than not...so there's that

Yeah but come on, can you really compare the number of people who use alcohol and/or tobacco with the number of people who own dangerous exotic pets?

People ALWAYS bring up these statistics. I hate flying, and people always bring up that cliched "ya know, you're more likely to get in a car crash than a plane crash". Yeah no shit, I drive a lot more than I fly. That doesn't ease my mind because I still know that if the plane goes down, there's going to be maybe half a minute of pure terror and despair followed by a horrible death. Give me the statistics on how many people survive plane crashes as opposed to car crashes.

Last year, more people were killed in fist fights than flame throwers, bazookas and atomic bombs combined. Does that mean someone's fist is more dangerous?
