We believe the conservation of species is a very important task that should be the responsibility of specialised zoos and sanctuaries worldwide. This should not be a task for individual breeders and keepers. The private keeping of wild non domesticated species make the animals or their offspring unsuitable to return to their natural habitat. Scientific findings indicate that exotic pet possession does not contribute to the conservation of species too. On the contrary, it is a threat for the conservation of species both in- and outside their natural habitat.
