Norwegian laws

[Stianz]

Here in Norway we are not allowed to have any kind of reptiles Snakes, turtles, lizards and frogs are totally illegal!!! If Mattilsynet(the Norwegian animal protection) finds out that you have any kind of these, they kill(!) them Ehh...strange huh? But guess what! We can have any kind of scorpions, spiders and insects. Why these?? Many of us here in Norway have snakes, lizards and turtle anyway, but if you have a big snake like boa constrictor you can end up three years in jail. But youre snake will end up dead anyway. A lot of Norwegians move to Sweden where reptiles are legal.
What do you think of this law?

There are probably a reason why they are banned. They just don't ban them for not liking them.

Sounds like a pretty dumb law to me. If it is because of the fear of them being released into the wild, I highly doubt that many species could survive the winter. Boy, I can't imagine not owning a reptile. I also can't belive that they are killed if found.

It's just one man that can change this law, but when he was on TV a few weeks ago, he did not answer on anything. We are the only country in europe that have this law. Why? It's so stupid!!!
