Discussion was held on the exotic animals and counties can make more stringent laws this does mirror the state. Arnold read 55-7005.01 the definition of exotic animals that included miniature cattle horses, donkeys, alpacas, and potbellied pigs. He expressed concern that the miniature animals should not be part of this. Discussion on what was listed as exotic but if it is state statute it is still the law.
