I agree with Voodoojoint. I think any un-domesticated animal should not be able to be kept as a pet. We need to stop with the zoos and stop destroying their habitat so they won't need to live in zoos so they won't become extinct. Its about time we start treating animals as we would treat ourselves. I absolutely love reptiles. I will not own any because they deserve to live in their natural habitat, along with fish and birds. It took me a while and a lot of research to even consider getting a
cavy. Along with cats and dogs (domesticated) I don't see any other animal as pet-able (yeah I made that word up). I would have adopted a cat(s) if I could have but I live in an apartment.
I don't support zoos. I don't take my kids to them. A lot of people think I am depriving them, but I want my children to learn that animals in cages are not the norm.
