I asked myself, why would this person from Australia sign this petition if s/he was so against the gliders being domesticated here in the USA? lol Jen

Is there a reason why Gliders are illegal in MA. Often times these animals are illegal because they are invasive to the natural habitat and can a lot of damage. For example in the great lakes due to boating our waters have become infecting by Sea Lampreys that are killing our native fish.
Most of these laws are not there to restrict peoples choices...they are there to protect animal and plant species. Sadly because the way these animals are mass produced many owners are not prepared to handle the responsibility and end up releasing them into the wild. A few bad people ruin it for the rest. But once again, most of these laws are designed to protect the other helpless animals....can't forget about them.

Glider pose absolutely no threat Mass' eco-system. They could never survive if they were to get out there is no adequate food source and the climate in itself would kill them especially if it is in winter.

The laws are old. Gliders could not survive in MA. And technically, they are not 'illegal', you need a permit to have them and they do not issue permits for 'pets'. In order to not have to have a permit in MA, animals need to be put on an 'exempt' list. To do that, they have to meet four criteria (the first three have to do with if they escape and what it would mean for the ecosystem, land and animals that are native, which are mute, as truly, they would not survive a MA winter, or fall for that matter!) The last one is their care cannot be more than that of a domesticated dog or cat. Now they need a specific diet, but so do dogs and cats. They should go to the vets once a year (or if sick), same as dogs and cats. Unlike dogs and cats, they pose no risk of rabies (I have never heard of a person getting sick from a glider for that matter). They do need time and attention, but so do dogs and cats. So although what you do to take care of a glider may not be exactly the same as dogs and cats, the basis, in my opinion is the same. And lastly, every surrounding state they are legal. It makes no sense for them to be illegal in MA when the land, weather and for the most part, the animals native to the area, are the same. I hope more people will sign this petition. Think about BSL (sorry to bring that up again). When one town passes it, it give other towns more power to pass it in there town. A couple of places have talked about trying to ban gliders......how would you feel if your town, city or state was to ban them? JMHO.
