When I was growing up there were no helmets, knee pads, or elbow pads, and there were certainly no bans on the pets we were allowed to have. So why is it that everything is harmful to us now??? Children's cribs were made with lead paint as well as some of the toys....... They didn't have to wear their seat belts, and yet most of us are still alive.....
Now a days there are so many "dangerous things" out there that can supposedly harm us, to the point most children live a sheltered life....
Now their big thing is NO hamsters, hedgehogs, baby chicks, lizards, and turtles.....
OK, I grew up with those pets, and i didn't become deathly ill, or contract some horrible disease. So why are they so dangerous???? Most parents say "I'll get you a hamster and well see if you take care of that first". What are they supposed to use now???? A hermit crab??? No wait those pinch, we can give them a hermit crab.... There's a theory, if your around something long enough you become immune to it.. I mean they use that theory on medicine, and cleaners... So why not use it on pets??? Having a small pet at a young age gives the child a reassurance that they are bigger and that they are the one in charge of the pet... And if the pet is taken care of they don't tend to bite or scratch at their family.....
OK, so I don't know if this post made any sense to you, but I believe in letting our kids play with nature and letting them explore the animals around us... And if they get bite, they do make anti-biotic cream for that....

Maybe if the Democrats have the house, senate and white house, then I would say YES everything will be banned.
