Firstly, there are all sorts of legislation that prevent animal cruelty. Sections 444 to 447 of the Canada Criminal Code detail them, and while I will not detail them here, all the things you mentioned would be illegal.<br />Secondly, the legislation dates back even earlier-there were minor changes in the 1950s, and the original documents date back to 1892. <br />Please consider these things if you make another speech like this one.The Common Sense Lawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628484436925231156.post-60511318966970330862010-01-24T14:41:51.214-05:002010-01-24T14:41:51.214-05:00That is a really moving speech.

First what do we consider an exotic animal? Because there has to be a baseline. Is it large cats (tigers, lions, etc)? Would it be anything over a certain size and weight? Animals not commonly found in the local pet store?<BR/><BR/>I'm a believer in personal responsibility, not government regulation. When you say there should be stricter laws about owning exotic animals you are advocating personal responsibility be removed from the equation. <BR/><BR/>If I am able to keep exotic animals with no incidences why should my right to have them be trampled? <BR/><BR/>You're probably thinking <I>public safety</I> or something along those lines. Problem with that argument is that there are tons of things, an inordinate amount of things which we accept that are far more dangerous than exotic animals to a much greater number of people. Driving cars for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
