Critter crackdown has no bite
"Four years after the city outlawed the sale or possession of nearly 200 animals, including familiar pets like iguanas and ferrets, few owners have been hunted down, and it appears that the law is frequently skirted or ignored."
Due to the lack of diligence of the NYPD, there may be dangerous, monkeypox-soaked Prairie Dogs roaming the mean streets of New York. Violent crime be dammed. We must capture these little buggers.
"Last week, an Illinois company, K&D Exotic Pets, advertised prairie dog pups on its Web site for $150 each. A Web site for Wild Animal World, of Peoria, Ariz., said lion cubs could be had for $1,800; spider monkeys for $7,000; kinkajous for $2,800, and giraffes for $22,000 to $40,000."
I don't even know where I'd put a giraffe. What I'd feed it. What I'd name it. Do you take them for walks? Do they have litter boxes? Is there a giraffes FAQ somewhere I can read?
