Thanks to Senator Troy Balderson for leading the way on the Ohio Senate's passage of a bill regulating the ownership of exotic animals. There were little to no regulations previously, and we all know after last year's tragedy that state of affairs could not continue.
We all wish the sad episode in which a local citizen and many animals lost their lives had never happened. But at least we are fortunate to have leaders like Senator Balderson, Representative Brian Hill and of course Sheriff Matt Lutz and his deputies step up and deal with with the problem and its aftermath.
Plus, an important gap in state law is being corrected - the proposal now goes to the Ohio House for consideration - and if our community had to play an involuntary but necessary role in highlighting the need for the new law, so be it.
Here's a link to the contents of the bill.
