Some species have no chance other then captive breeding. Vets are hard to locate at times and rescue groups are even scarcer. Zoos often will not take unwanted exotic pets nor help the owners learn how to care for them. Too many shelters who end up with an animal that is not a domestic dog or cat resort to euthanasia, because they are unwilling to allow a dedicated or qualified private individual adopt an animal they believe only a zoo is qualified to keep. Some wildlife rehab groups also would rather put the exotic pet or non-releasable animal to sleep rather then place it in a new home.
Lets help people understand and love our misunderstood alternative pets.
The National Alternative Pet Association is here to help. Due to being far too busy for my own health, I may not be able to answer all email. All requests to me for animals I do not personaly breed myself will be ignored. Get the info . This Exotic Pets Around The Net site is owned by NAPA .
