I agree!
Since they know nothing besides drafting the law, shouldn't they always ask experts of each subject for educated opinions before making laws in the related area? Ask a doctor when make laws on the use of medical drugs, ask a building expert when make laws of construction safety, and so on.
It is not that hard to just hire some animal experts when drafting such animal banning law.
There are very few animals on the pet market is native to each area. They are always of different breed if not sub-species. We can't just ban the ownership of all pets, can we? It would be ridiculous. Silly lawmakers lol.
