Check out the documentary "the elephant in the living room." On netflix but might be able to find it online.

All about the harm and danger of keeping exotic animals, both for the keeper and the animal.

Those of you that think no one should be able to keep so called exotic wildlife, well the people that would prevent that, would deprive you of your fish too! Be careful who you align yourself with.

Just because some don't think that people should keep large carnivorous mammals as pets doesn't mean that they align themselves with the sorts of organizations that would have the keeping of tropical fish outlawed.

just to be clear, I do not keep these as personal pets. I have worked with an Exotic animal rescue for over 10 years of my life. so dont be too hasty to pass judgement.

Yes because keeping fish is the same thing as keeping a tiger :screwy: Exotic wildlife such as big cats should defiantly be either in a zoo or in the wild.

Dam didn't realize how old this thread is...let it sink lol

Land of the flea and home of the whopper.

There is a big difference between a caged pet such as a fish or reptile and a big cat
