The purpose of this?
The purpose of this?
Wow, you cruel …
Wow, you cruel bastard, keeping those WILD fish in fishtank for your selfish human amusement. They should be out in the WILD!
How can you tell people they cannot own exotic pets when you have slaves of your own?
Those poor fishies must be miserable. You should have them euthanized so they no longer have to endure the torture of being in captivity!
/sarcasm
I find it odd how …
I find it odd how people believe we can breed the instincts out of animals. Dogs may look more cuddly than a wolf, but they can be just as aggressive.
For example, I’d rather stay overnight in a room with a captive bred and human raised cougar than a feral husky, despite the husky being the “domestic” animal and the cougar being “wild.”
“Well good for …
“Well good for those owners, but it still doesn’t make up for the countless animals that are abused and suffer cruel lives because of the exotic pet trade.”
What about all the animals that suffer because of the domestic pet trade? Millions of dogs are killed yearly. Countless are kept in unsuitable conditions. Many people, mostly children, are bitten and mauled, some even killed, by “pet” dogs.
Do you think dogs should be banned as being kept as pets? No one *needs* a pet dog either.
I’m sorry you fail …
I’m sorry you fail to see a simple matter between right and wrong, you seem very intelligent yet your ignorance makes you blind. I understand exotic pet owners do not want to be rid of their pets, I myself own a saltwater reef tank that I may no longer have if the exotic ban goes through but to me it will be well worth it to save and preserve the lives of exotic animals. I think it’s obvious by now neither you or I will change our views, so continuing this would be a waste of time.
And now we have a …
And now we have a chance to stop all of this, but idiots such as yourself just think about themselves when there are thousands (millions..?) of exotic animals out there suffering.
“X is naturally predisposed to Y, and thus it is good.” Yes, because X is not ready to be a house pet and as the dominant species on this planet it is our responsibility to protect the earth’s animals not make them our own and contribute to their destruction.
You want proof? For …
You want proof? For god sakes go use google, I’m not going to sit here and bend over backwards and cite you sources of various events and sources that show why most exotic animals are bad to have as pets. You can find all sorts of cases of exotic animals turning on their owners, being abused and used to breed only so the owners can sell their young to make money. How do you think all those animals in the circus learn to do those ridiculous tricks? They are ABUSED!
I never had a ego, …
I never had a ego, nor do I see anyone ROFLING.
And you’re the guy who so boldly stated I was wrong without any proof to back yourself up. baseless statement lolwut?
Well good for those owners, but it still doesn’t make up for the countless animals that are abused and suffer cruel lives because of the exotic pet trade.
(cont) In addition, …
(cont) In addition, the statement “wild animals should stay in the wild” is founded on an inverse Appeal to Inherent Nature. And example of such appeal done straight is “X is naturally predisposed to Y, and thus it is good.” Poison kills. Is that good? What you’re doing is inverting it and saying “Exotic animals are from the wild, so taking them as pets is cruel.” This is why I expect proof.
Did I say “deflate your ego”? I meant “try to get everyone to ROFL at your failing logic”. :O
“your’re so …
“your’re so ignorant and oblivious”
“You’re the naive idiot who reverted to insults.”
How hypocritical!
“As much as ‘Millions of flies’ is”
If you couldn’t tell, I’m accusing you of an Appeal to Popularity, which is a logical fallacy. AND YOU’RE STILL DOING IT!
“I don’t see you citing any sources”
Well, you’re the guy who said “OMG ANIMALS SHOULD STAY IN WILD”. But, if you insist, there are quite a few responsible exotic owners with HAPPY pets on YouTube: foxalbiazul, SpiritWhiteFox2, etc.
(cont) is planning …
(cont) is planning to put a ban on ALL animals imported from outside of the United States. This will affect many fish, reptiles, birds which millions of owners such as myself enjoy having and take good care of them. I agree, something needs to be done about the exotic animal trade but this is not the answer.
Your heart is in the right place but I think you’re just misinformed.
Wildferocitylordz, …
Wildferocitylordz, it’s obvious you care about animals. I know the suffering many exotic animals go through from cruel breeders, circuses etc etc. I think owning many exotic animals such as in your example a lion or other big cats is wrong.
But H.R 669
And as for ” …
And as for “deflating my ego” (lol). Try it.
Apologizing for believing in what is so clearly right? Never. You’re the naive idiot who reverted to insults. You apologize.
How do you want me …
How do you want me to prove anything? It should be a simple matter of right from wrong, and yet you’re so ignorant and oblivious you fail to see this.
As much as “Millions of flies” is, it’s still not the bulk of society. I dont see you citing any sources, why should I bother?
Well, considering you exotic animal lovers are so bent on keeping dangerous, unpredictable and WILD animals, it just seems like the nutjobs with pet lions should be telling us why this should be allowed?
“I don’t need to …
“I don’t need to prove anything.”
Regardless of any burden of proof, yes, you do. Unless you have no proof and should shut up.
“Since the majority of society–”
Eat s***! Millions of flies CAN’T be wrong! Oh, and source please.
“shouldn’t you be the one proving…”
Well, let’s see. You made the baseless statement. It’s your responsibility to prove it.
If you can’t prove it, I highly recommend you either apologize or shut up. Otherwise, I just might have to gleefully deflate your ego.
I dont need to …
I dont need to prove anything. Since the majority of society will agree wild animals should remain wild, shouldn’t you be the one proving why we should take exotic animals (some endangered…) from the wild and make them our own?
Prove it.
No, …
Prove it.
No, really. Prove that exotic animals as a whole should stay, well, wild, instead of what appears to be following your emotions.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! …
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say no to exotic …
Say no to exotic bans? These animals dont belong in your living room they should be in the wild. Very sad.
I have kept and …
I have kept and keep many species. Some have been exotic. I do not want to see a ban on keeping exotics, but I do believe in regulation. There is a big difference in the keeping of a ball python as opposed to keeping a chimp, which I believe most people should not be able to own. We need a lot of education about any of these animals. For example, many of us are attracted to beautiful breeds of dogs, but if we were educated, we would learn what breed actually fits our specific lifestyles.
people should stop …
people should stop having children so frivilously,the chinnese 1 child policy is harsh but they have the right idea
Can I ask why you …
Can I ask why you continue to live in the society that is “destroying the earth” if you are so against it? Your very existence does more harm than good for the earth. You may be interested in vhemt(dot)org.
Unless you support killing a large portion of the human population, more animal habitat will be made into human habitat. Wildlife was destroyed to build my home, its only fair that other future people can have places to live as well.
We humans are …
We humans are capable of the worse crimes against nature.
The world will be a desert if we don’t stop now,have a little mercy for the rest of the animals.
We are the plague,we are rational self destructive animals.
Have you ever wonder why man has mamal glands,nails,hair? think,think,think,think,think,think,think look at the other spicies and see your ancestor and where we came from.
No hypothesis only facts.
i love animals
i love animals
A good idea would …
A good idea would be that REXANO Organization buys a big 5,000 thousand acre ranch and start breeding animals inside that private ranch in their own wild habitat and would keep the species out of extintion.
