Yet another update. This article is dated December 6, 2003:
Animal committee has more questions </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr />
Crawford County commissioners don't have the authority to enact laws so any regulation of exotic animals must be done through either the Ohio Department of Natural Resources or the Department of Health, Commissioner Ron Hoeft said.
Crawford County Humane Society director Harry Wells said if regulations are enacted, his agency is willing to respond to exotic animal complaints and, if necessary bring charges, using the sheriff's office if necessary.
If the state would allow that to happen, that would be the answer, Hoeft said.
The Ohio Department of Health would have to OK the move.
