Today it is so easy to rant about this subject because I think it’s absolutely tragic how humans feel so free to manipulate nature! Today there is the extremely sad case of the chimpanzee who attacked some poor woman and tried to detach her face. Birds aren’t meant to NOT fly, and chimpanzees are not meant to live in houses under the pretense they are humans.

I wonder when the exotic pet trade will stop. I wonder when society will wake up. It’s only then that these horrific events will cease happening.

It seems we’ve become very disrepsectful of nature, not just in the exotic pet industry. Somehow, for human pleasure, it’s ok to keep a magnificent elephant chained in place till show time. Or it’s ok to raise 8000 chickens, all crammed into cages designed for 800, never letting them see the light of day or scratch at the dirt. Or better yet, let’s breed those mutations together and come up with the distorted things like those poor ”munchkin” cats, you know….the ones with shortened legs.

It’s pathetic. A power trip. Selfish and so very disrespectful.
