I was born and raised in Dubai and let me tell you this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exotic animals being sold. I am a firm believer that wild animals belong in their rightful habitat and NOT in cages. Sure some of the cages are clean and maintained well, but it's quite sad to see overcrowding in some of them as well. Its all about the status you hold and how well you can 'flex' that, which started the exotic trade. I have visited this place a few times and truly feel for all the animals that are caged up for days. The ones that get sold are considered the 'lucky ones' because God only knows what happens to the ones that aren't sold. When asked, every store owner says the same thing "they go back to the farm". It is just heart breaking to see this being done in one of the most developed countries in the world.

[@foxy3711]

None of these animals is lucky. Who knows who buys these and if the owners will provide a suitable habitat for them. I highly doubt that you can cover the needs of most of these animals in a desert like Dubai. And for each sold animal, another will be "produced" on farms or taken from the wild under cruel circumstances. How can anyone think it's a good idea to buy dogs from puppy mills in Ukraine, separate them from their mothers and transport them over thousands of miles to a desert?! I don't want to know how many animals die before they even reach the shop windows.

[@TheBartholomeusz]

@@foxy3711 exactly!! God knows what happens to the ones that dont get sold... i really do not like thinking about it. And on top of that they do the same for exotic animals, where does it end ? This is what tourists should know about Dubai, instead of thinking about the luxury buildings and cars.

[@Red1676]

Something doesn't feel right knowing you can buy a owl, technically a predator animal, for less than some breeds of dogs. Then see it caged up knowing how much space it needs AND the fact it's probably gonna die from stress.

[@livingexperiences1438]

I only frown upon the people keeping animals that they know are unhappy. Conservation by commercialization is key. With out these animals in captivity a disease could wipe out wild populations over night and we'd have no way to help. Also before you say let zoos keep them there's not enough zoos to save them all and most zoos rely and private keepers for their information.

America is a pretty low bar itself though when it comes to exotic pets. The stores being clean isn't the issue, it's the trade and eventual ownership of the animals being in the hands of people who want them just because they're a novelty and have no business caring for them.

[@pr27038]

It was great to see your shock and view you evaluating your ethics. Most of the birds I saw are birds you can have legally in most countries. I would think a majority of these are captive-bred for logistics and because they want the babies to be hand-fed for tameness, but birds absolutely do get smuggled and it wouldn't surprise me if they end up in places like this. Re your questions about the dogs: no, it's not okay how they're kept. Most of these conditions were heavily crowded, filthy, improper, and stressful, but it's important to remember that absolutely happens at shops in the US.

This is animal cruelty how can u find it funny

[@matthuber9936]

Wow, this is INCREDIBLE!!! If done poorly, that place could've been a huge disaster - Glad to see that the animals looked happy!

[@GibbonLord]

I haven't really seen an comment about the condition of the reptiles. Most of them definitely need bigger cages and uvb lighting. The feeding rats didn't look healthy so the snake could also get sick. Honestly it seems like something you see at reptile expos in the Netherlands and those last a day or two. I didn't see any sick or injured reptiles though.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

Ye, unfortunately feeder rodents aren't bred for health, but thankfully for a lot of reptilians UVB isn't a necessity for living, so we can only hope they get the proper care to allow as many chances to thrive with whoever gets them.

I really waited for your next upload, from the Philippines

[@JR-yi3cz]

There's a place in Manila, Philippines called Cartimar where there are lots of stores selling pets like these but the living conditions of the pets in some of the stores are not as prestine.

[@cool.stuffs]

Poor animals 😔 so many of those need to be left in the wild

[@shahrukhkhan8307]

most of them are imported from either UK, France or Holland. so tell them to stop breeding them and world will stop buying them

[@Maspets]

And what about his exotic fish??

[@foxesproject5031]

@@Maspetsthe pet trade has so many captive bred fish most exotic fish aren’t even an issue to the environment

@@foxesproject5031 Most MAMMALS are not an issue for the environment. More of them are captive-bred. The VAST majority of marine fish in the trade are wild-caught.

[@foxesproject5031]

@@Maspets marine fish, but freshwater ( fish I’m most Experianced in ) are commonly captive bred or responsibly caught from the wild

I don’t understand how you can promote those kind of shop. Even if you say owners love their animals, it’s just animal cruelty

[@nwyk153]

really? cruelty? bit much.

[@lulux2606]

@@nwyk153 I’m sorry but seeing this amont of birds in one cage (same for fishes), the hyacinth macaw is an endangered species that has no place in a pet store, did you see the behavior of meerkats in the first store, they put squirrels just next to snakes which only stresses them because they can be their prey,…. And I’m not talking about dogs and cats in their jars. So I’m sorry but I think the term cruelty or abuse is appropriate in this situation.

[@SoulLiveYT]

It’s funny how the guys were just practically bullying him WITH THE SNAKES AND TARANTULAS AHAHAHAH

[@CasanovaPopperz]

They literally keep the dogs and cats the same way in America just go to a local pet store sometimes it’s worse in America

[@brynnmcdonnell2260]

It's unfortunate that this was a great opportunity to shine a light on the illegal pet trade, wildlife trafficking, and zoonotic disease but the message of the video is that these establishments operate in good faith and that people should visit/buy from them when that is the last thing they should ever do.

[@foxy3711]

True. It's his easy way out for a content creator. Maybe they paid him for keeping his mouth shut, or he really is that blind and dumb.

[@defeatSpace]

lol that squirrel has velcro toes

[@gunot7599]

Yeah the dogs and cats are the same setup as over here in Massachusetts most of the stores look similar as in Massachusetts

The urge to direct every enclosure and explaing how the majority are inadequate is overwhelming

[@juniussara9517]

some of the cleanest pet shops ive seen ngl ofc there are mistakes made, but you can tell they do care.

[@Seven7ails]

Very cool. Friendly people too. I disagree on that platinum silver Arowana . Lol. Looks like a plain silver to me

[@therealcarnitos]

Love the latest video. We met a few weeks ago in Black Rock City at lost and found. I hope you found your phone.

[@porr1chk1d11]

everything here honestly seems to be in better condition then American pet stores minus the snakes

[@josephfast5887]

Very clean very nice shops. Question the shops and breeders here in America. Walk into your local petco and see the size of caves and tanks they store animals in.

[@starlawilson9011]

The shops look clean and the enclosures look similar to what you'd see in tbe US in better pet shops.
