There are still more of these animals than there are people who know how to care for them properly. It's brilliant that there are so few of them for rehoming in your area but there ARE still many in rescue across the world - there are many here in specialist rescues.

There are many of the bird, fish and reptile species kept as pets still in the wild. Most are not endangered so there's no danger of extinction.

The fact is they WILL be around, but yet again selfish humans can't see past their want (not need) for fancy, exotic pets.
