Exotic Pets

Sep 08, 2010 14:36

I am extremely, extremely dubious of people keeping as pets undomesticated animals. I know that there are intelligent, responsible people out there. I know that I shouldn't let shock stories about the kid who released his Burmese python into "the wild" in his back yard influence too heavily my opinion of snake keepers. God knows I've always wanted to own a snake myself, although preferably not something large enough to eat a kindergarten class.

THAT SAID. Irresponsibility in the exotic pet trade angers me more than in any other area of animal husbandry. It's the combination of cruelty to the animal itself, ignorance on the part of the prospective buyer, vanity on the part of all humans involved, greed on the part of the dealers and breeders, harm to the environment, and danger to other humans and creatures because of disease or just the unpredictable nature of wild animals.

And this website? This website is the worst of the fucking worst.
