happily in confi nement. There are many terrifying and heartbreaking stories of captive animals attacking and even kill- ing their owners after years of mutual affection. No one knows what makes the wild side emerge to disastrous results.
What should buyers of exotic animals understand?
I view our attempts at taming animals as little more than subjugation. That’s understandable if our own survival is
at stake. But to subjugate other beings for our amuse- ment diminishes our own self-worth.
Animal smuggling exists because there is a market for it. Decisions to purchase or own an exotic animal cannot be made in isolation; every action has an impact upstream. We need to realize that there is an environmental impact of removing creatures from their habitats and teach the benefi ts of seeing animals in their natural environments. Wild ani- mals do not need us. We should leave other animals alone, and they should remain forbidden creatures.
