they did this in bc a while ago, but pet lobby fought it and ended up winning alot of ground and it was changed so there was no blanket ban.
The only things banned were dangerous animals like crocidiles and tigers, poisonous animals were put on a restricted list and require a licence to own now.
At least this is what i was told on bcaquaria

Talking about restricted. How about snake, the big snakes? - Back in the time at the country side, I've seen snake killed cows, pigs, chicken... (Not talking about poison here) - I've seen lately some of my friend raise some big snakes and having babe at the same time. big snakes love fresh meat and what would happen if he accidently got out of cage?
And many raise those scary small snake and even breeding them. And let kids play with the new born snakes.

May be I chicken, but that deffinitely look scary to me

He, he, I don't think something like this has a hope. You'd have to include dogs, cats, the list goes on. They'd be killing a huge industry. All those eccentric actors/actresses would have to give up their puppies with the fashion hairdos and pink highlights in their fur. Maybe they should consider banning non indigenous humans too, especially the wacky ones that keep coming up with this stuff.

I get a real kick out of the average schmoe not being allowed to bring some agricultural products, like an apple say, across the border between BC & Washington. Could be some pest or disease in there. Yet tropical fruits like bananas, pineapples etc. come into virtually every northern/western country daily. Who knows what lurks inside those shipping containers, despite the toxic pesticides they use to supposedly render them safe from hitchhikers.

Next time you go to the supermarket watch to see when they unload bananas.......
they usually wear gloves, ever ask yourself why?
Somehow I doubt that this will be high on anyones priority list given the certain real
problems facing the U.S. at the moment. Oh and Canada.

Yikes! That is scary. Lets hope that never happens.

This seems unrealistic considering it's a billion dollar industry.
