Ohio's exotic animal ban soon to terminate

A managerial order signed by former Gov. Ted Strickland banning the buying and selling of Exotic animals is set to expire as the new administration weighs continued regulation, the Dayton Daily News reports. The 90-day order Strickland signed banned new exotic pets, which include big cats, bears, primates, large snakes and other animals during Wednesday.


A spokesperson for Gov. John Kasich said the administration supports the animals' rule but “believes any new regulations should be developed in a transparent way with input from the public.” That assistance the ban is pushing its extension as a matter of safety. In the past 21 years, at least 29 people in the state have been injured and one killed in incidents connecting such pets animals, the paper reported.
