Legalize large snakes in the City of Johnstown, CO

    Currently, the city of Johnstown, CO has restrictions on large snakes, a restriction I consider to be unjust. The restrictions fall under Chapter 7, Article VII of the Johnstown municipal code titled, "Health, Sanitation, and Animals: Animal Control". It prohibits, "Any wild or exotic animal, as defined in this article. (Ord. 99-603 §1)". The municipal code defines wild animal as, "Wild animal means any monkey (nonhuman primate), raccoon, skunk, poisonous snake or reptile, jaguar, cheetah, mountain
    lion, wildcat, panther, margay or any other species of cats other than ordinarily domesticated house cats, any bear, any
    nonpoisonous snake longer than six (6) feet, any crocodile or alligator longer than one (1) foot, any badger, prairie dog, beaver,
    muskrat or bat, or any wolf, coyote, fox or other species of canine other than ordinarily domesticated dogs." My hope is to remove nonpoisonous snakes longer than 6 feet from the code's definition of wild animals. This would give citizens of Johnstown the legal ability to own and keep within city limits. It is my belief that these animals were unfairly banned due to an unfair stigma against them. These animals are not as aggressive or violent as some portray them. It is my goal to help remove this unfair view placed upon these amazing creatures, and make them legal to own in our great small town of Johnstown. Thank you. -Kane Young-Hiss
