Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on January 27, 2014: You're probably right Karen, but I have not much knowledge about them and didn't want to get blasted by someone, heh. “The dog was starting to get in a bad way. MOVE TO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE WILD, DANGEROUS, VICIOUS ANIMALS..... you are a weirdo I hope somebody trap and cage your ass.... you are an animal too... and not even a good one you know an annoying animal maybe and insect best describe you... A gnat,mosquito or a bee something you can flatten with a newspaper. You CLEARLY directed your comments at me. That's the way it looks to me, makes sense too, if that list were the ones being banned, you would think they would have included great apes and baboons in there. Ohio is one of a handful of states that allow bystanders to break into locked cars in order to rescue pets in distress. No the Department of Agriculture follows laws just like the public has to. The 'other than' specifies that those listed are indeed legal to own provided you follow any species specific certifications and registration. Now, EXOTIC Pets such as my Serval Cat were NOT born in the wild nor have they ever been in the wild, meaning they could NOT survive without human care. It is just as cruel and inhumane to keep any wild animal as a pet,as it is to kill one for fun or trophy. There are no licenses...unless you run a circus, zoo, sanctuary, ect. It hurts the animal and it hurts society as a whole. Many of the monkeys on the list are smaller species, so it is confusing why they are specifically banned while even lemurs are not. Under the Administrative Code, people with disabilities may bring all “animal assistants” into places of public accommodation. There's no logic to it. That's why the City of Columbus supports the needs of your furry friends. Though with my luck someone will let them know that they missed Heloderma and it will show up magically on the list. Irresponsible people buy animals because they think they are cute and are thinking of the now and not the future. The practice of continually tethering pets outside for extended periods of time is known to be both harmful to animals and the communities they live in. Call and verify with the Department of Agriculture Wildlife Division. A public accommodation is not required to allow your service animal to remain if it poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. The side yard? Seriously? Kasich could get this bill passed. She came from 12++ generations of being bred & born in Human care & there is NO way that my "EXOTIC" ~not~ "WILD" but my EXOTIC Serval Cat Pet could survive ONE day in the wild. I don't think many states ban exotics because of animal welfare, just due to their ignorance about what 'danger' it presents. Section L addresses "restricted snakes" which means any of the following (legal only with a permit over the length of 12 feet after 2014). There will always be people who can't care for animals getting animals, that is just a fact of life. The strong support of this bill by legislators and the public is the result of the actions of a single individual. As someone who has extensive knowledge and experience working in zoos and sanctuaries I can confidently state that no one should ever think that attempting to domesticate a wild animal for the purpose of being a pet is a wise idea. Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on September 15, 2013: That's nice that YOU think that JD, but I should be allowed to not be dictated by it. a) Golden lion, black-faced lion, golden-rumped lion, cotton-top, emperor, saddlebacked, black-mantled, and Geoffroy's tamarins, f) White-faced, black-bearded, white-nose bearded, and monk sakis, h) Black-handed, white-bellied, brown-headed, and black spider monkeys. Pet owners are looking high and low for reputable sources of pot for their pets. OK, lets back up for one second....A) I am not "stubbornly suggesting" that YOU personally claimed any animal on the list as being dangerous. None of these laws cover pets or what some call “emotional support animals”: animals that provide a sense of safety, companionship, and comfort to those with psychiatric or emotional conditions. Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on June 11, 2013: I'm pretty sure you don't know how many people have what Crystal. Is it considered one of the hybrids? The threat of "constricting snakes" is largely exaggerated. Philip Speed from Skegness UK on May 29, 2013: Much rather see these animals in the wild, they are always the ones that suffer in the long run. That is what I was told in 2013 and have not seen any changes to anything thus far, so I'd think that's how it still stands (currently). Households, 2014-2018: 4,654,075: Persons per household, 2014-2018: 2.43: Living in same house 1 year ago, percent of persons age 1 year+, 2014-2018: 85.2%: Language other than English spoken at home, percent of persons age 5 years+, 2014-2018: 7.0%: Computer and Internet Use I am from Ohio, but have lived in South Florida for nearly 13 years and I can tell you that alligators and pythons have in fact killed people in the U.S. Several in fact. Why just kill all those animals rather than tranquilizing them and sending them to zoos and/or animal preserves? Under the ADA, a service animal is simply a dog that is individually trained to perform tasks or do work for the benefit of a person with a disability. And the same goes for exotics. I believe that all Gods creation have a right to life but what do you do to an animal that attacks and kills. I noticed that you didn't bold either the yellow or green anaconda. I've owned a yellow anaconda for 11 years. -_- like I said UNLESS you have a properly sized yard, and the knowledge to take care of them. How foolish is that? However, you may be required to pay for any damage your animal causes. Are Gila monsters (Heloderma suspectum) a banned or permitted species in Ohio?please let me know. These bans are ruining EVERYONE not just the bad owners. Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on January 19, 2017: Primater, I think lemurs are legal. And completely ignore my request to interpret the sentence I posted? He was murdered. Big cats belong in big spaces. It lists many types of establishments that fit the bill, from hotels, restaurants, and stores to insurance companies, hospitals, skating rinks, and video arcades. You should probably verify laws with the regulating authority before writing about it and effecting all of us with misinformation. I am saying that the argument for public safety fails if they clearly are not causing more death or injury than any other average, large-sized pet. I guess I cant own one as a pet in ohio correct, Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness If I can afford and want a Tiger who is to say I cant. Better yet, who let this article be released with such non-sense ideations? To fall under this provision, you must have a disability and you must have a disability-related need for the animal. Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on January 11, 2015: Colin, animals don't have rights. The laws change all the time and sometimes the DOA does whatever they want anyway! I welcome Wildlife inspections, they help me-help keep my animals healthy and safe, its only when one becomes complacent with ANY type of animal when stupid accidents happen. Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on August 28, 2014: So you're going to sit there and stubbornly suggest that I claimed any of the animals on the list are dangerous? For example, I am a perfectly safe driver and have never gotten into an accident, but I really HATE having to follow all those rules of the road. Fatalities from these species, however, are rare with negligent handling often being a factor. I have a dog hamster and mouse and im going to buy two birds and another mouse because I can afford to take care of them. Download Formatted State List (no counties) PDF .

The new Ohio Dangerous Wild Animal Act had widespread approval and was passed by the House Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee in a 87–9 vote (the previous S.B. My Serval is from 12++ generations of being bred & born in human care. Even though public safety is important, we never see the welfare and safety of the animals taken into consideration. I feel that when making laws, we should look out for the rights of the animals, more than the safety of the people, for even though people aren't that often injured or killed by exotic animals, they almost always pay the ultimate price for our contempt and greed. R.C. Yes, removing cars from existence guarantees no car-related deaths, but it's stupid. The following constricting snakes are twelve feet or longer: a) Green anacondasb) Yellow anacondasc) Reticulated pythonsd) Indian pythonse) Burmese pythonsf) North African rock pythonsg) South African rock pythonsh) Amethystine pythons, a) Atractaspididaeb) Elapidaec) Viperidaed) Boomslang snakese) Twig snakes.
