Including legislation dealing with birds, reptiles, ferrets, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, prairie dogs, hooved animals (hoofstock), large and small exotic felines, wolfdogs or any other animal. This is a pro-exotic mailing list for responsible private ownership of exotic animals or alternative pets of all kinds. If you have knowledge of ANY bills effecting exotic animal ownership in the state of California, please tell our list members! The best way to fight unfair legislation is to let as many people know about it as possible.

Note to CA Fish & Game Dept. The list moderator lives in Texas and WILL NOT devulge names of ANY people keeping exotics in CA, so don't EVEN ask her or threaten her.
