Petition: Demand Pennsylvania Ban Exotic Animal Ownership

An adorable alligator named Fluffy was rescued from a creek in Pennsylvania, many miles away from typical crocodile or alligator habitat.

Fluffy’s human had been keeping her trapped in a 75-gallon tank, which is torture for an animal of her size. Reptile experts said that Fluffy was both underweight and was showing signs of deformities around her mouth.

She was 10 years old and only 2.5 feet long. Typically, alligators her age are at least six feet. This type of stunted growth is almost certainly the result of years of abuse and malnourishment, which is exactly why civilians should not own exotic animals in the first place.

Please sign this petition to demand that the Pennsylvania legislature pass a statewide law banning exotic animal ownership!
