You can purchase a number of exotic animals online
And have them shipped straight to your local airport. Among the list of animals available for sale are hedgehogs, prairie dogs, and of course the big cats of the jungle. However, just because you can buy these animals online doesn’t mean that you should. For starters, these animals are taken from the wild, ripped from their nests while their mothers are out searching for food. Then, these animals are packaged and crated and the face a horrifying journey through the airlines in order to be picked up by you.
If you expect any of these animals to show up all sweet and fuzzy and ready to be your exotic pet you obviously are not counting their harrowing ordeal just to land at your doorstep. These animals are not supposed to be take animals and the way they were taken from their nest is all the more reason for them to resent the human world. They have been cold (do you know how low the temperature gets in the cargo hold of an airplane) and terrorized in order for their sale to be complete. These are not animals that were meant to be brought up in a cage. Most of them are illegal to own, but that certainly hasn’t stopped the sale of these animals. When these internet purchased creatures do not bond with their human they are often turned out into the streets without the benefit of being taught by their original parent how to fend for themselves. The simplest and most humane method of dealing with the problem is to ban the sale of these animals over the internet.
