DEP
and Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo Team Up
for Exotic Animal Amnesty Day (May
29, 2009) Connecticut Department of Environmental
Protection.
An Exotic Animal Amnesty Day
will be held Jul 25, 2009 to provide a convenient,
safe and "no
questions asked" way for people to bring
in exotic animals they may own legally (but
may no longer want) or in possible violation
of state law, without a penalty. Officials
do not want people to release such animals
because non-native species can have an adverse
impact on Connecticut's native plants and
animal populations.
