Anita, there are so many issues within issues. My head is at a lower than 10,000 ft level and I'm kinda concentrating on the ones we already have or the ones in the "pipeline" that deserve to live happy, healthy lives. The train has already left the station on whether they should be in the US at all. Yes, there are ethical issues about whether or not they should be pets at all, which are of course important. But what resonates with me is the humane treatment of the ones already here.

I do think native animals should be allowed to be kept as pets but only within thier native land.

Actually Ed, since most US gliders were imported from Indonesia you would have to live there.

Either way, I'd cry my eyes out if the laws changed! :-)

As would I, and build an extra room to hide them in and then when they all died I would resort to playing with my Stuffy.

or hide out in a bunker like those gun enthusiasts in "Tremors"
