Just down my street there is a yard that has done some desert xeriscaping, but I do wonder nearly each time I walk by if he got his saguaro cacti legally (I do not know if there are any special protections on them, but I have heard about people being arrested for trying to steal them from their ...

Pets!
Sadly I have no pets because I know I would be much too negligent to be a good or even a bad owner.
