this wouldn't be as harsh if they had reasonable people adjust it so that maybe it would just make it ore difficult for irresponsible people to have species that could cause problems. Just have people get permits like a fishing license or whatever. grandfather in those that have the pets and people trying to get into keeping such animal should have to go to a class about being responsible with non-native species. Thats what has ruined it really ..... people that think a pet would be cool, don't know anything about care, and then release it to the wild when they are sick of it. People like that need to be weeded out somehow. Its not the species, its the manner they are cared for and housed.
