The possession of exotic animals is a form of animal abuse.

It starts with kidnapping the animal form its native habitat in the most inhumane forms of trapping. The protective mother is usually killed and after the capturing of these wild animals, the traffickers keep them in small spaces and then smuggle them across countries which takes days and weeks. The wild animals then reach their destination which is a form of prison where they are exploited for entertainment, this form of captivity elongates the suffering and could result in the animal getting sick and dying of age shorter than the life expectancy of the wild.

We encourage the community to respect and preserve the habitat of these wild animals in order to ensure the continuity of our beautiful planet
