Ban the sale of exotic animals across the nation
The letter argues for a federal ban on selling exotic and wild animals as pets, citing animal cruelty and public risk. It criticizes state and local gaps, urges laws to prevent breeding and sales, and promotes adopting shelter animals rather than owning exotic pets. It notes zoos, laboratories, and canned hunts as part of the issue and calls readers to choose shelters.
