Norway lifts 40 year ban on pet reptiles

[Catherine]

Weird. I answered this post last night, but I can't see my answer anywhere. I forgot to actually post it didn't I.

Bans never work. They just make it hard for the people who have the banned pet. With the ban lifted people can seek vet help if there is a problem. It is also easier to watch for abuse if people openly have reptiles.

Norway figured out that you can't ban things sometimes. It is not good to try if  people are not going to obey the ban. All it does is get people used to breaking the law. People are going to have reptiles. They may as well go along with it and try to regulate it.

People love their reptiles.
