Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

 That is B.S. Soon they will try to ban Sex, fast food, and interracial relationships! When will our country stop becomming such a communist country? Isn't this supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave? To me it seems people are trying to make it the land of the poor, jobless, illiterate and the home of the enslaved! People need to quit trying to fix everything, they keep ing it up for everyone else!

Exactly...That's why you need to vote Libertarian and/or stay in TX, Brett...Although, govt has overstepped itself here, with the unconstitutional road hunting ban...

If only those poor residents of San Fran could somehow escape the confines of the city limits, or gain access to the internet, they would be free to continue to purchase animals as they have been able to.
Wait..... they can. So this proposition is aimed at accomplishing basically nothing aside from grandstanding and what may be considered a stepping stone and "win" for the radical animal rights faction.
Encourage adoptions? Not likely when it comes to exotics. Considering 95% of exotics that are up for adoption are species that most people aren't interested in, or else they wouldn't be up for adoption, and even those are probably low in numbers compared to demand even in a large city. Who ever heard of a fish at an animal shelter anyway?
This is one of the most inane, and completely pointless propositions I can think of, with the only resulting effect being the damage done to small business, and large business for that matter, and their employees.
Way to go San Fran, once again a beacon in the night for all to look toward for guidance.

I don't agree with a full ban, but it SHOULD be more difficult to obtain a pet. You shouldn't be able to waltz in, pay 5 bucks for a mouse and then neglect it or give it to a shelter in a week when your kid gets bored of it. Or pay a buck for a goldfish so it can languish in a tiny bowl.
If someone has to put some effort into getting their pet, maybe they'll be more likely to put effort into caring for it.
This is in an ideal world anyway. -_- I know in some countries you need permits and things to even keep stuff like beardies, but that'll never happen here

This is crap. Know what all my local rescues are full of?
Red ear sliders, ball pythons, corn snakes, beardies, leopard geckos... all the 'common easy cheap' ones you can pick up at any pet store, that people are encouraged to get as good beginner pets. Obviously people want them- hence pet stores sell them- but too many people get them on a whim because it's so easy.

My guess is that they will simply starting banning exotic animals altogether. Yet another reason why I hate this state.
Also, our school districts in Los Angeles banned chocolate milk.  EW! That is the ONLY milk I would drink when I was kid in school (and even then it was still vile). Now they're getting angry because the parents who can afford it are simply sending their kids to school with Nesquik/Alta Dena/etc.
