I’m concerned that all camelidea species are being classed as “dangerous animals.” $100 a head for each alpaca or llama is half the value of the animal, is it annual?

I believe that alpacas and llamas are exempted as livestock.

Yes the $100 permit fee is annual. Permits are not shall-issue based on any standard defined in the law; the DWA Board has discretion on who can be issued a permit. Also, permits are only issued for grandfathered animals, that is, the ones that were owned once the legislature adopts the list. You can't purchase or breed new DWA's and apply for permits for them.

The insurance mandated by the law is a killer also. One woman was quoted a $705 annual premium to cover her two sugar gliders.

Also, jackalopes are incredibly dangerous; yet I do not see them on the list.

Hey, now. This is serious business. Anyone who’s ever witnessed the raw, unchecked violence of a stampeding herd of tortoises would NOT be making such jokes.

If you're against this law, it's because you support the tea party's war on women

Gerbils? Someone on staff either believes urban legends or tried it out themselves.

I was chased by an assault tortoise last week. I almost had to walk fast in order to escape.

Gerbils COULD be dangerous - if you’re Richard Gere...

The way things are supposed to work in an honest system is that when it becomes apparent that a crime has been committed law enforcement people seek out the criminal who commited it. In a DIShonest system which is the type we now have, it is more likely that a person will attract the wrong kind of attention because of something he did or said that some person in law enforcement does not like and then his every move will be scrutinized until he does something to justify his being arrested and imprisoned. With so many laws that no one can possibly be aware of all of them it doesn’t take long to find a reason to arrest a person. Attorneys have to specialize because the law is far too complicated for someone who makes a career of knowing the law to possibly be competent except in one small subdivision of the law. What chance do the rest of us have?
