Well let's see, Should exotics be banned?
Well they call snakes, bugs, birds, lizards, amphibians etc including Pot Bellied Pigs Exotic pet. In fact about all they do not call exotic are cats and dogs.
Now think about the number of attacks by "exotic pets" and run those number against the number of attacks by what they consider to be domestic pets.
Using that logic cats and dogs are the ones that should go bye bye.

My answer on another thread works as well for this one, I believe. If preferred, I can copy & paste. I got long-winded...

What you mean you can't read your dogs mind?? ROTFL
Actually in our house our two house dogs are pretty good at telling us what they want, but as you said when someone we want in comes by they go out.
I also agree with your statement;

USE SOME COMMON SENSE WHEN IT COMES TO OWNING ANIMALS!
STOP regulating the animals so much and START to focus on regulating the people that own them!

In recent developments, it appears that she gave the chimp xanax and in addition, treated it, more, intamately, apparently.

She later denied the Xanax bit, but I'm sure an autopsy can show otherwise if its there.
