I think the law has to be more defined as under some of the proposed laws ferrets , chinchillas ,and monkeys are concidered exotics . I would have been in vilaction raising my chins.
I think each indaviual should have to go though a permitting process. I have 2 freinds that raise Bobcats one has never had a bad purchaser or sale. after 11 years. The other has nothing but trouble at least 1/2 of each litter is distroyed but wildlife officals in the purchasers state.
The first couple are very careful about customers and have a very stricked screening process. The also hand raise the kityens after 3 weeks of age a. in fact they are tolet trained they even flush after ward.
The 2nd does no socializing at all removes them at 6 weeks for sale not even fully weened.
It should be clear who I approve of . In fact in the next few years I will probly be getting one from the 1st couple. (after I no longer Merlin so many years)
These laws need to be very carefully worded, remember visous dog laws.
