Ok. So... my local news station has this story:
http://www.9news.com/news/article/309117/188/Infant-found-living-with-298-animals-parents-arrested
The animals in question are a bunch of reptiles, birds and rodants.
I left a loooong comment on the artical.
Now... of course the conditions were horrible (if you read the artical) and they were drunk and lost track of their child which is bad...
BUT one thing that seriously bugged me is the deputy said they were breeding without a licence.
HUH? Sence when do you need a licence to breed anything! - Other then show dogs/cats and maybe "hots". I've NEVER HEARD THIS.
I know I've bred gerbils before and my garters... I plan to breed my ball pythons and my tarantulas. I have never seen on here or anyone else that you need a licence to breed. And I've never seen someone display a licence at shows either. (which if you need it - you should be required to prove your a licenced breeder - right? )
So I wanted the communities take on that. Do I need a licence to breed my BPs?
