(This is a rant)
I'm tired of having this argument with exotic pet owners that I believe are behaving irresponsibly. Not towards their pet, but towards that animal's species.
Unless you are a zookeeper or work in some sort of wildlife rehabilitation centre, why on earth would you keep an endangered animal? That's just insane to me. You're actively contributing to the downfall of that species.
Don't get me wrong, I think exotic pets can be great pets for the right owner. I myself have kept a variety of reptiles and birds in the past, but they were all listed as CITES "Least Concern" meaning that they were plentiful in number in the wild.
It just makes me so angry that people would buy a pet without giving a fuck about the conservation of a species.
