Wild animals belong… in
the wild!
A wild animal is meant to live in its natural environment. Sadly,
the fashion for exotic pets means that lemurs, iguanas, Barbary
apes, etc. now lead unhappy lives in our homes and cities.
Environment
These animals have basic physiological and psychological needs
which simply cannot be met in someone's living-room.
Death
And for every animal that survives capture and transportation,
how many die? Similarly, the only way to obtain the young of certain
species such as the great apes is to kill the mother.
Never bring back an animal as a holiday souvenir, whether alive
or dead, as this is to contribute to the disappearance of species
on which biodiversity depends.
