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.

Dogs And Childhood

A dog. Probably a perfect gift for a child, because almost every child wants a dog. I always wanted a dog, when I was a small boy, but my parents didn’t have an opportunity to make my dream come true. All children love animals: they feed animals in the zoo, they love their pets, they, really, want to save the wild animals from hunters. But why when we grow up we forget about them? Maybe we are too busy to think about all these red books, animal extinctions and green peaces? Moreover, we forget about cats and dogs. Cats and dogs, which we loved so much in the childhood. Even they become so meaningless.
    Nowadays there are millions of outcast animals. I know that there are thousands of homeless people and of course it’s a tragedy. But while we are thinking about people we can think about animals too.
I hate hunters.  Not orinary hunters, of course, but poachers. They kill animals which are in the red book. They just don’t care about animals. But I tnink we are not to blame them. Because we are like the poachers, we don’t care about animals too. Poachers are also very busy and they have no time to think about animals. Maybe because they are not children any more. They have forgotten about a dog, a dog of their childhood…

Cats’ training

This principle applies, among other things, and the famous “rub noses in the puddle.” Do not do it! The next time you see, the cat will flee. Of course, when the cat behaves unacceptable, for example, sits at the dinner table, you should not silently watch it with the sweet smile. Remove it from the table and say firmly: “No!”, This is quite enough to make it understood the ban. Cat unmistakably understands this sign as: “A Well, stop!”
If misconduct has already been done, the cat does not make sense to punish retroactively. It just will not be able to understand what true owner dissatisfaction. From this it becomes self-doubt, do not really understand what is not pleased, and. may become scratched.
Praise brings positive fruit only in the cases E, if the cat gets it immediately after the commit an act that deserves encouragement. In any case, the praise never hurts. Motivated promotion – praise and reward – can be achieved tremendous success in raising cats. Unfortunately, many owners forget to praise his treasure, for example, when some took advantage of a toilet, no claws on the furniture upholstery, and on a special plate, slept in their litter, ate well and quietly led to a car.
If you want to give your cat some special skills that come only through the promotion. Misses ignore completely. But with respect to misconduct, the model of education sometimes does not work.
