14 years old. Been keeping reptile since I was 5. I am really interested in the larger species of reptiles. I prefer the "normal" pattern and colored animals rather than those morphs. I operate a small, home based reptile rescue. I currently own: 2 Savannah monitors 1 Nile monitor 1 Reticulated python 1 Burmese python 1 Amazon tree boa 1 Cuvier's Dwarf caiman 1 Leopard Gecko. HELP FIGHT THE PYTHON BAN!!!!! EMAIL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE A STAND AND WE WILL WIN!!!!!!!! \ Did you know that horses, dogs and cats kill a combined 244 people a year, while captive reptiles kill 1 person every 2 years? Did you know that cats are invasive in ALL states, while their are only invasive reptiles in 1? If political leaders and HSUS weren't so blind sided, we wouldn't have any of this.
How/why is it illegal to resist an ILLEGAL arrest in RI?
I was doing a little bit of reading to better understand the laws of my state when I came across something that really intrigues me. Here is a link: http://webserver.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/title1...
And heres the part that is bothering me:
§ 12-7-10 Resisting legal or illegal arrest. – (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to use force or any weapon in resisting a legal or an illegal arrest by a peace officer, if the person has reasonable ground to believe that he or she is being arrested and that the arrest is being made by a peace officer.
-
Now I may be wrong about this as I'm just starting to educate myself on law, but does that mean that if an officer is trying to detain you without committing a crime, for example, you can't stop your rights from being violated by resisting? And if someone did, shouldn't it be the officers fault because they placed themselves into a hostile situation by illegally detaining and harassing someone?

1 AnswerOther - Cars & Transportation7 years agoWhy can't private clubs/groups discriminate?
I was reading something in the paper about how this all white country club got sued so they know have to allow black's to join. Obviously, it's wrong to exclude certain people just because of race, but what I don't understand is how a privately funded club on private property can be forced to accept black members? I feel that it should be up to the owners of the club to decide who to let in, not the government. I mean, people are paying to be members of the club and if they don't want a certain group to be there, they should have the right to turn down their applications and exclude them.
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoIs it legal to break a car window with a child/animal inside on a hot day?
A few days ago a friend of mine spotted a dog in a car with all the windows rolled up in 95 degree heat. Luckily, he was able to notify a security guard of the situation and the owner was located quickly. But what I'm wondering is if the owner can't be found in a situation similar to this, is it legal to break open the window or force entry into the car to save the animal/child in the state of Rhode Island? I always carry a pocket knife with a window-breaking tool on me just in case of a situation like this. Legal or not, I would still do it, I just want to know what legal protection I have; if any.
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoEasiest and fastest way to clean dog puke?
My dog decided that she wanted to be a cat and ate all of my cats dry food. She just puked it up into two piles, luckily on a tile floor. My mom usually cleans up messes like this because I'm squeamish, but she is out of town for business. What is the fastest, easiest, and least-gross way of cleaning up the puke? It's the consistency of cake batter. I put cat litter on it to help dry it up and make cleaning easier.
4 AnswersDogs7 years agoCan my teacher do this?
Before we get to the main point, here's some background information: I asked a few of my teachers in the classes I have good grades in if I could take my final with the seniors, to give me more time to focus on my other classes that I'm not doing so great in. During finals week at my school, you only come in if you have an exam. So for the classes I already completed my exam in, I didn't show up. The other two teachers haven't said anything and I emailed them just to be safe. But one teacher is threatening to give me a zero for the exam because I didn't go to the scheduled exam period (i already finished his exam). He's also saying that he will take me out of his independent study next year if I don't show up at one of the summer make-up days in July. He even went as far to call me from his cellphone a few times today and argue with me, calling me unethical and unmoral.
So can a teacher be doing all of those things?
6 AnswersTeaching7 years agoWhere can I sell Zippo lighters?
I was helping my buddy move and we found 12 cartons of Zippo lighters. All of them are in the original display cases from the factory, still sealed individually in plastic bags like they are when you buy one from a smoke shop. The orange sticker that ensures that the lighter wasn't tampered with is intact on all of them, and they all have original price tags, ranging from $14.99 all the way to $44.99. Is there a store that will buy them off of, even at a very discounted value?

3 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoHow long will my dog likely be depressed for?
Unfortunately, one of our dogs had to be put down yesterday because of kidney failure. We have two other dogs, and one of them is acting fine, but we're still keeping an eye on her just to be safe. Our other dog, who was a lot closer to the one that passed, knew what was going when he collapsed yesterday and wouldn't leave his side until we rushed him to the vet. Ever since we returned she hasn't been herself. She's usually hyper and jumpy, but she has just been laying around lately and you can see in her eyes that she's sad. She's eating fine, and all, but she just wants to lay on the couch all day. I've been letting her sleep on my bed with me, we've been taking her on longer walks which she loves, and we've been giving her a lot of attention. Should we be doing this or should we just let it run its course?

1 AnswerCleaning & Laundry7 years agoI need some help with Fedex package tracking?
I ordered something yesterday and I just got a shipping confirmation and tracking number from the company today. When I check the shipping progress on the fedex website, it says 'Initiated' where it tells you the shipping status. It's been like this since around 10:00 PM eastern time. I paid an extra $45 shipping fee for overnight shipping, and I will be pretty furious if it doesn't come in on time. It says on the website that the estimated arrival date is March 4 (which would be on time), but I don't see how the package can come from California to Rhode Island in less than 24 hours. What does the shipping status 'Initiated' mean, and do you think my package will arrive on time?

We recently got a new addition to our family, a 3 month old pit bull. We've had her for about 2 months now, and she's excellent. Well at least most of the time she is. When she is around us, she is completely potty trained. But when we leave her home, she poops EVERYWHERE. Even if its just for an hour. We think that she's doing as some sort of way to get 'revenge' for leaving her home. How can we stop this?

3 AnswersDogs7 years agoWhat size shirt should I wear?
I am 6'5, 230 pound male. I can not find the right size to wear. Most large sized shirts fit my body perfectly, but they aren't long enough. If I lift my arms up, my whole abdomen is showing. It also fits extremely tight on my arms. So tight that when I take off my shirt, you can see the indentations where it was squeezing in my skin. If I wear an extra-large shirt, the length is perfect and my arms aren't too tight, but its way too baggy. Is there a size in between this? Or is there a way I can stretch my shirt?
