Well, I'm not sure what's going on. I was just served a notice that I must appear in court to explain why I am keeping dangerous pets. The most dangerous animal in my house is my wife's little ankle biter, and she don't even have many teeth. (The dog, not my wife)
Here's part of what the notice say's.
What do you guy's think of that? One thing that I find very weird is everywhere in the notice that says "and plants" is written in.
I have to be in court on Tuesday. It says that since there is a danger to the public that this will be on a rushed schedule.
Last week I moved into a new house. The landlord came over and he saw my plants and asked about them. I showed him the vft's and nepenthes. He asked a lot of questions. What are they? What do they eat? Are they dangerous? and so on. I always like telling people that the nepenthes have been known to capture and digest monkeys in the wild. You should have seen his face when I told him that.
I think my landlord reported me for having dangerous plants. I guess I'll know more Tuesday.
