Imagine buying a house, having kids and then learning of your neighbor's plans to start an exotic pet collection. And worse yet... you have no legal recourse against it.

In some states there are literally no laws against owning exotic pets. And in some states, all it takes is a permit. In fact, in most places in the United States of America, your neighbor is legally permitted to own a lion or a tiger or a grizzly bear. And that's scary as hell when you consider what happened in Zainesville, Ohio last year where the guy just got fed up and let all his wild animals loose. Time for laws to move into the 21st century.
