VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - Exotic animal, owners, buyers and sellers -
watch out! Vancouver's going to make it harder for you to deal in wild
animals.
Vancouver City Council has unanimously passed a motion banning people
from keeping certain exotic and wild animals as pets and banning
businesses from selling them. They've also requested Mayor Sam
Sullivan write a letter to the Union of BC Municipalities to consider
a Province-wide ban.
Banned animals include such creatures as bears, large constrictor
snakes, hyenas and alligators. Businesses will be prohibited from
selling everything from elephants and birds of prey to venomous
insects.
