The
speakers for our November meeting were Investigator Jason Boswell and
Biologist Jenny Tinnell, who is over the Amnesty Program. Investigator
Boswell went over a lot of information on which exotics are legal and
which one are illegal. Biologist Jenny Tinnell tells us about Amnesty
Day and that people will be able to surrender their exotic pets that
they can no longer care for, free of charge ,with no questions asked at
this one day only event.
All
surrendered pets will be examined by a licensed veterinarian and if they
appear healthy, we will try to place them with willing, qualified
adopters.
Exotic
reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and mammals will be accepted;
domestic pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets) will not be accepted.
There
were many questions from our members who felt very lucky to have such
good answers provided by biologist, Jenny Tinnell and Investigator
Boswell. We had a great meeting.
