Update from Illinois Senate hearing on 'Dangerous Animals Act of 2012'

By Cindy Steinle
Tue, February 28 2012 at 11:12
The proposed "Illinois Dangerous Animals Act of 2012, Senate Bill SB3264", a bill which would have eliminated and restricted the ownership of many pet reptiles in Illinois, was the agenda of a Senate hearing today at the state capital in Springfield. A group of concerned Illinois pet and business owners, led by the always fearless and outspoken Brian Potter, went to Springfield today to speak their minds on the proposal.

I had a chance to speak with Brian for a few minutes right after the hearing. He was kind enough to give us an update on the current situation in Illinois.
