Unless I am mistaken, aren't basically every kind of Tarantula you can keep as a pet non venomous?
I'm the kind of person that'll take basically any kind of spider save a black widow and just put it outside while my gf is screaming at 115db to murder it and will then be angry with me for 3 days that I didn't.
Poor tarantula.
Oh right, this 'politician' is an amazing argument for lowering housing costs such that people can afford studios instead of living with crazy 'main character' people like this.
Well in MN we need to be cautious of spiders generally because our climate between spring and fall is conducive to venomous spiders of all kinds, both native and invasive. Natively we have black widows, northern widows, brown recluses, wolf spiders, jumping spiders, woodlouse spiders, and many more. Climate change is expected to increase the range of black widows in our state, one of the most venomous spiders in the US. We're going to experience severe dry and wet seasons, so I expect imports and exports through the great lakes see a massive increase in dnr presence. I hope Walz follows through after our elections.

Remind me never to visit MN
The person who said is making it mountain out of a nothingburger. If you're afraid of mosquitos, yeah you might have a problem in some suburbs or rural areas.
