BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Exotic Pets $25 for every exotic pet?

This is a bit much a permit for each exotic in Delaware is or is going to cost $25 for each pet. This is crazy especially if people who own rescues have to pay per exotic pet. $25 per exotic pet once every three years already they are seeing exotics in the newspapers ads. With their (State Agriculture Department officials) infinite wisdom they will see a lot of exotic pets abandoned. How about free permits with a passage of a test on each species of animal? What are your suggestions or comments? There has to be a better way?<a href=BellaOnline ALERT: Raw URLs are not allowed in these forums for security reasons. Please use UBB code.

My husband and I lived in Standard, IL and left for a number of reasons. One of them being the town decided to give themselves a $25.00 raise by charging every household a permit fee to have a dog. This isn't a licence/dog-tag fee. It's in addition to that registration fee, just for having the dog on the grounds.

It was ridiculous. The entire population has median houses and you have 3 or 4 gargantuan monstrosities smack dab in the middle. Clearly outspending beyond their means, kids runing up and down the streets in golf carts and izod shorts . Plus, at least when we left, the only outside income came from just one of the houses. A woman working part-time. Other than that no one worked outside of the city. It's simply their neighbors/citizens paying their salaries. That my best guess for the exotic pet fees. I wonder if people stop to think how their town representivies or statte for that matter afford what they do? Through our fees and taxes - our labor. That's it.

That is the kind of stuff that makes government local on up, so popular these days. I really don't care what politial party they belong to, they are all bought and paid for.
