The Elephant in the Living Room exotic pet documentary

[Bluebonnet Herp]

The reasons are varied - lack of proper knowledge, lack of sufficient funds and a prevailing attitude that these animals are disposable all come to mind.

You failed to mention that this applies to all living beings- including children and the unborn. The pet trade isn't any different. The points mentioned in documentaries like OP brought up are just typical of life. What's wrong about them is they try to make it seem like something exceptionally special. It's not. It's just one of many numerous symptoms of a downfalling society. These kinds of documentaries are really about being propaganda for a completely anti- animal agenda. They don't give a rat's arse about a few passionate keepers, nor do they care about the good points of pets and zoological specimens. They just want their radical agenda enforced and they'll do whatever they can to get there.
