What is an ‘exotic’ animal?

Go on with that great work ❤

Anything that isnt considered traditional livestock, cats, and dogs would be considered exotic. Any blanket bans would effect the keeping of: hedgehogs, ferrets, exotic cats (bengals and savannahs are exotic hybrids), any reptile, any amphibian, any arachnid/insect/arthropod, ferrets, rodents, any aquatic animal (huh wonder if that would include coral🤔), skunks (yes there are states with domestic pet skunks same goes for foxes), etc. This wouldnt jyst directly effect the trade this would also effect exotic animal medicine ehich would be a huge blow as well as zoos/rescues. Bans DO NOT work!

Goldfish count as exotic so banning exotic pets hits all fishes.

Love your channel, I'm a subscriber and keeping reptiles and amphibians has always been a battle in the 38 years I've enjoyed them. Fish too. I've had aquariums for almost as long and many things are banned now that weren't before. Same thing with aquatic plants. I finally started getting vocal and involved a few years ago. I donate monthly to USARK and USARK FL. Fine. People want to take away what I love, I'm fighting back. No more. Not on my watch. People have to get involved in defending our hobby in anyway they can. Please don't be complacent. Anything helps 🐍
