That is much less then i thought! Personally,i am not really interested in keeping leos,but would be willing to give R100 just to help the cause. I would also be happy to pay R350 towards a risk assessment for green iguanas.
Ok guys,i just red through that post again and came to the conclusion that i went overboard a little. I would like to apologise to Clarkie and Mathandanyoka for that! I really mean it and hope you will be able to accept my apology. Also thanks to Westely for pointing it out to me.
@ Mathandanyka: I am glad you finally changed your mind and agree that cape nature is the correct body to approach to! It's just a bit disappointing that you,as a professional,couldn't give any proper answers to my questions,which were not meant in hostility. Lots of copy and paste,but very little u...
There is no denying Clarkie that you complained repeatedly about the fact that people are allowed to keep venomous snakes and you can't have a leo. Painting horror scenarios of venomous snakes on the loose,all over the place killing people.Which is just total BS! So why don't you go and change your ...
Agreed! I just feel it's a bit pathetic,that you have to badmouth another fraction of the hobby to bring your point across. Why don't you start a new post and propose all venomous snakes to be outlawed in the western cape?
I agree,the legislation is flawed! But pointing the finger now at venomous keepers isn't the answer either. A venomous snake,that's kept in a locked cage and a escape proof room doesn't pose a threat to anybody.
@ Mathandanyoka: This thread is about legalizing leos in the western cape,not on a national level.In fact,leos are legal in most other provinces.So in which way would the DEA be involved,can you be a bit more specific? Can you tell me one single person in the western cape that ever received a permit...
I understand your frustration and to me it is not surprising,that more and more people are choosing to keep these animals without the necessary permits.
