Many people get bitten by wild hots too, that doesn't mean the government wants to go on a scheme killing them all off, at least, not officially :) |
Well, the detail of the medication certainly put a new spin on this, depending on the type of med and Mr Anderson's mental capacity when he was bitten.
As for any statewide or national backlash from this, I just don't see it happening, especially now that a couple months has passed since the incident. |
The part of the article in the Tampa Tribune which states "Commissioners (County) also directed staff to continue investigating ways to beef up restrictions on exotic animals that are kept as pets or attractions" has me greatly worried.
It seems to dovetail into my post about the County Attorney wanting to get with his counterparts. Perhaps we can be optimistic, yet vigilant. |
Here is another interesting story that helps explain the anti-reptile ferver in Tampa:

Russ Anderson, I finished re-interviewing our mutual friend Richard tonight 10/20/03 at 07:00pm. I have known Richard for around 20 years and he is one of the few people I am quite sure has never lied to me. I am absolutely certain that what I wrote was exactly what Richard told me.
After Richard spoke to you last night, Richard now wishes for me, in the interest of fairness, to retract the portion on the BOI about when he stated to me that you had taken a powerful prescription drug for the documentaries to duplicate the medication you were on at the time of the bite. Richard now states to me (quote): "I gave you the wrong information about Russ Anderson taking any medication for the reenactment." |
Some Results from the Hillsborough County Commission Meeting to Ban Reptiles + Exotic
I finally am getting some information in: Quote:
http://docs.hillsboroughcounty.org/r...0001/404/Recap 10-15 BOCC Regular Meeting.pdf scroll down to page 6, STAFF REPORTS. apparently some guy named Bill Armstrong and members of the FWC are to prepare a report and present this report in January. I live in North FL and this is stupid. if hillsborough county passes this law, then it may well affect all of FL. There is a reptile expo scheduled for the Tampa area on Nov. 1st and 2nd, I cant go, but hopefully there will be a huge turnout and maybe a petition should be passed around fighting this proposed law |
Here is the complete URL for the minutes of the Hillsborough County Commission Meeting to Ban Reptiles and Exotic Pets: It should work now, scroll to the bottom of page 6 please:
