Amnesty offered for exotic pets
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI - Got a spare rhesus monkey, Mexican spiny-tailed iguana or Cuban tree frog causing trouble around the house?

Wildlife officials in Florida and the Miami Metrozoo are holding their fifth annual Non-native Pet Amnesty Day on Saturday. Owners of exotic pets are allowed to turn them in without facing the usual fines and other penalties for violating the state's wildlife laws.

Wildlife officials say the amnesty day gives overwhelmed pet owners an alternative to releasing exotic animals into Florida's ecosystem.

I've never understood why people would want to adopt an animal that could potentially murder them. I think the dumbing down of America with reality TV may have something to do with it. In a related note I'll be heading to Miami this weekend to drop off the Back Yard Blog mascot the Back Yard Bear. He's been scaring neighborhood children and after the Odessa/Clark Dog Attack Scare of 2007 we can't take any chances. I'm also supposed to be recruiting Robert Marve to come to Nebraska.
