I am a 70 year old licensed veterinarian. I like all animals but the only ones I have a desire to own are medium sized reptiles. I also do a limited amount of rescue. I have done this since I was a teenager. Reptiles are easy to take care of when you understand their requirements and can provide them, so that is what I focus on. I still have a number of turtles and tortoises that I acquired during the sixties and seventies. My iguana and tegu will both be 26 years old this year, and are still going strong. I breed and show them, and use them for public education. Every summer for the last 5 years I have been asked to provide a reptile display and education event for a local weekend festival in a small bucolic Fox Valley area town in east central WI. Every year it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. It is a family oriented event and everyone has always been civil and well-behaved. It is like the proverbial “Norman Rockwell Community”. On Sunday afternoon my experience there was blemished when Evil descended upon my exhibit. I did not recognize them at first. They seemed like most everyone else. They asked me some general questions about the animals, but then they launched into a tirade about the animal cruelty I was committing by keeping “wild animals (captive-bred reptiles) that need freedom to roam, cooped up in plastic boxes (my Neodesha display cages)”. At the time I had one of my boas on the lawn next to my display so that the public could pet it and take selfies of themselves with it. One of the men then launched into another tirade about the “huge number of large constrictors that kill people every year and that I was being reckless and endangering public health and safety by exposing the public to them”. He then said it should be illegal everywhere for anyone to own dangerous wild animals like this, and that he was glad more municipalities are outlawing them. He said this while standing inches away from my “dangerous wild animal”, the likes of which apparently go berserk without warning and launch themselves at people and crush them to death. This man then went on to say that my “plastic boxes” were a joke that could not protect my reptiles against an “attack by his group, which could easily smash all of my cages on the ground and stomp my animals to death within minutes, and I would not be able to stop them”. I dialed 911 and asked for police intervention for a group that was threatening acts of violence against me. The group leader then became indignant and led the group away while chastising me for calling the police. Park security and the police arrived within minutes but the group disappeared and could not be found. I was unnerved, uncomfortable, and visibly shaken for the rest of the day.
