Oh geez. I can understand bans on some animals such as tigers, but chinchillas? Really?
The whole thing about non-indigenous animals is weird, because in most places, you can't keep indigenous animals as pets. It sounds like they want to ban everything except cats and dogs.
Typical knee-jerk overreaction of some lawmakers! I wonder if they were pressured by PETA types after that incident with the man in Ohio with all those tigers. I know there were lots of "ban all exotic animals" petitions floating around the internet after that. :/
