And as the owner of three pits who is worrying about having to change home insurance companies because idiots who have no right owning these animals have given the breed a bad rap, I again have to point to the fact that it's going to be one of these idiots who will ruin it for everyone in this hobby. Again, I'm not one of these alarmist who runs around freaking out every time someone skips an imaginary rung in the "ladder of tarantula ownership", but I've encountered enough folks who don't have the common sense it takes to keep these animals. I hear what you're saying, but I love this hobby too much (and already live in a state that restricts their sale and wouldn't hesitate to ban them after a bad news report).
