We have all heard the story back in 2009 where the woman was mauled by a Chimp in Connecticut. Well now the sate is trying to ban exotic animals including Pythons. A bunch of animal enthusiasts, shop owners and exhibitors voiced their concern at a public hearing on the issue. The Maritime aquarium even said that under the proposed law they would no longer be considered an aquarium and some of their exhibits would become illegal. This folks is what we need to stop. A Chip is not a snake and I am offended that they have to pick on everyone for one morons mistake. Contact info for the DEP is below, please contact them in a responsible manor and voice your opinion no matter if you live in the state or not.
