Headline from the Pilot Online: “Group urges McDonnell to crack down on dangerous animals”
No, no one is urging the governor to rein in the General Assembly.
In the wake of the big-game scare in Ohio earlier this week, the Humane Society of the United States wants Gov. Bob McDonnell to toughen the sale and possession of dangerous wild animals within the state.
Virginia has virtually no restrictions on the possession of primates, warns Debbie Leahy, a captive wildlife regulatory specialist.
Does that include humans? Just asking.
