Burton, Michigan eyes ban on exotic animals

Alligators, venomous snakes and poisonous spiders aren’t welcome in the city, according to The Burton News’ Web site, http://www.mlive.com/burton.

That’s the word from the city’s legislative committee, which held a special session Wednesday after receiving reports of an alligator in a DeCamp Street house. Committee members recommended adopting a proposed ordinance to ban keeping exotic or dangerous household pets.

If approved, the measure would require the city to give the owner of a banned animal 10 days to remove it from the home. The owner also could be required to show proof of where the animal was taken.
