[@thewr0ngchild]

You have a meerkat in a tiny tank on it's own, meerkats are incredibly smart, social animals that need to be kept in groups, and do not make good pets unless you have lots of space to provide burrowing and desert type environments. Apart from that, I hope pets bring the Japanese and Chinese closer to our animal friends, and the next generation begins to treat animals with more respect than these countries do now.

This really hurts my soul, to see so many different animals trapped in small cages. I can hear their voices for help and see how much they wish to have a normal life.

[@xXpurplebuddy]

I feel like some of those animals can't even be handled.

[@xXpurplebuddy]

First of all, I'm not an asshole. I handle certain types of animals on a daily basis, but not animals as wild as these. I feel like some of these might not be able to be handled properly because they are commonly known as wild animals. But maybe they were handled before and actually aren't that wild. Second, not all of these animals are reptiles. There are obviously mammals too. I wasn't even talking about the reptiles.

[@DryGrindersHD]

xXpurplebuddy i agree but with u okay but i have allot of those animals and they are great animals you just need to be carefull only thing that made me mad is becouse there are country's that doesnt allow these kind of animals only becouse of the bad things peaple say but realy dont know anything about it they only see bad in those animals but they realy arent i hope you understand couse here in holland they already tought about not allowing these animals anymore

[@devonbrown7662]

Same thoughts exactly however I recommend the non-poisonous variety?

[@Natlatify]

DryGrindersHD He's not saying that these animals are bad, he's saying you'd have a hard time handling them. I mostly imagine he's talking about the mammals that aren't properly domesticated - the meerkat, the prarie dogs, the Armadillos. Those are animals that have not been selectively bred and domesticated over hundreds of years as cats and dogs and hamsters have. These are animals that are probably one or two generations away from the wild, which means their temperament isn't going to be like that of a pet, more of a wild animal that will not enjoy handling or affection and will likely bite you, as it sees you as a threat to it's survival.

[@xXpurplebuddy]

I'm a she,lol. But yeah. I handle animals almost everyday, but I'd be a bit scared to touch some of these..

[@Liv-om4mu]

This made me feel physically sick. And wtf a meerkat in a pet store?? I can't even watch the whole video

[@woodyallen494]

This is absolutely horrible. The sugar gliders do not need to be in small glass boxes, with no way to glide, and with so many more sugar gliders. Yes, I understand they're very social animals but I mean, come on. It's over crowded in there. Sugar Glider. Sugar Glider. What word did you hear in there? Glide. Not Sugar Stay In An Over Crowded Cage. These small, lovable creatures deserve so much more than to be put in to these glass tanks with nothing more than what? shavings and some fruit? I used to own one of them about a year ago, she had died due to it being far too cold and that is part of the reason that this angers me so much. I know just how amazing so many of these animals are, just how sweet, affectionate and beautiful so many of these poor creatures are. Yet people treat them so poorly. It's all about the money they'll make off of the animals and that is absolutely horrendous. I am a twelve years old and I'm even able to tell that and have better judgement.

[@hallyuniverse]

Sugar gliders don't /need/ to glide, that's only for reaching food and to escape predators, which they don't need to do in captivity. But they do need a larger cage, attention and somewhere off the ground to hide. They are nocturnal animals and shouldn't be kept in confined spaces in broad daylight as it is stressful to them.

This is sickening to watch how Asians treat animals like this. They are always the ones to torture them, I wish they are tortured as well. Did you see how the rodents were biting and pawing the wired cages and the guy laughed like it was cute? That's called stress, they are biting and pawing the cage cause they want to get out. Plus the poor owl, it was strapped on a perch and was not aloud to go anywhere, staying on a perch for long periods of time is bad for their feet. How would you like it if your feet were strapped on a bar and you weren't aloud to move? Your feet would hurt just like the bird's. If only these idiotic Asians would put themselves in the animals's shoes and see what it's like to be treated this way.

[@r.j.l.x]

I'm asian. That's offensive. I don't do that shit, so don't point out every single fucking asian.

[@Mikey8028]

That's how you keep raptors. You tie one foot at the start. Eventually they assume their foot is always tied and don't fly off. It's how it works. It was a shit petstore. Like 15 tortoises in about 1.5 foot square of space is insane.

[@alexispickel3286]

+Canadian Blaze you can clip the wings so they don't fly off...you don't need to tie them down

[@Lilmoviegirl]

Often times, people will tie leather strings with a bell attached to the string to an owl's leg so people can hear it as the owl flies around. Owls are very well known for having feathers that cannot be heard as they fly, helping them catch prey at night. Tying a string with a bell on it is often a good soloution than just straight up clipping a bird's wings, which should /try/ to be avoided if possible. Of course, I could be wrong and there's not a bell there, but that's a pretty common thing when it comes to having owls as pets or rehabbing owls.

[@filthyprank5164]

you losers clearly dont understand or know about. birds ...even with clipd wings they can still fly a meter high and for a good 10 seconds in the air

[@ChloeStardawn]

Nataly Exotic pets.......key word exotic......

[@XraineX]

why arent the birds on perches like the north american stores, doesnt being on the ground too long hurt their feet?

[@SolitaryEngel]

Yes it does. they need perches of varying widths to prevent their feet from forming arthritis. Flat surfaces or perches that are all the same width causes lots of problems long-term.

[@iiisopod]

You are right, but i have a feeling those might still be juvenile birds. so they may not be able to maneuver a smallish display cage properly yet and will just result in injury. Young birds like this are sold to be hand reared and become people friendly (which is great because they get to come out of their cages to fly and interact with people)

[@SolitaryEngel]

The thing to keep in mind, though, is that pet stores tend to retain a percentage of animals for a long time before they are sold. Especially expensive animals, or ones that need extra care. Some of those birds might be in that cage for months before they get bought. :/

[@iiisopod]

Kimberly Hartley That is a possibility but since we dont know the exact way the store handles birds we dont know if fully grown ones would be moved into a larger cage. I would prefer all the animals get more space and thats something that frustrates me about a lot of pet stores in general. But they seem to be in good health and if they were depressed or sick it would probably show a bit more. I had gotten a young ringneck from a similar situation and its quite common for younger birds to be kept in class/plastic tanks. And since these are probably hand raised, people might buy them much quicker then the others.

[@tommyma09]

Profit is all they give a shit about. Also, don't get urself fooled with North American pet stores like petco and pet smart. They cage animals in small enclosures jut like that but maybe a bit better than this case.

NO! TORTOISES CANNOT BE KEPT IN CLEAR TANKS! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD ITS DANGEROUS!!! Also too small The groundhog is in way to tiny of an enclosure, and doesn't have nearly as much as it should The degus are in a glass tank, THEY SHOULD BE IN A WIRE CAGE The poor lovebirds and parrots, that cage isn't even close to being appropriate for one, none the less more.

I am guessing their animal rights are pretty much nonexistent. Some of those animals are dead, if not sleeping. Along with other problems with the way they are kept, such as the birds.

[@SockThing7]

The contents of an entire zoo put into one closet.

[@yanivbaron5320]

Whatever doesn’t sell ends up in a restaurant

[@alliechen1634]

Noisy zoo.

[@emmas8833]

OMG meerkats should be out in the wild making dens and scavenging for bugs wtf.

[@emmas8833]

Also, every where does have animal abuse but the thing is, Asia is notorious for it if you think I'm lying watch the tv special extinct.

[@raybuggy11]

Yeah they need to be in groups as well as they need to have underground dens which is hard to duplicate so they really shouldn't be pets

[@emmas8833]

I agree it would be extremely hard to mimic their natural habitats

[@Rainbow_Rockstar]

+Ray Mkay right meerkats r in a group called a mop and they keep eachother safe and healthy this is just sad!!

[@TheMakeupGlitters]

This is so sad, especially the meerkat, who cant even burrow underground like they are supposed to

[@lexietaylor6863]

how much did they want for the owl in us? i dont want to get one just curious

[@solsofresh4632]

this is so sad i feel very sad for the animals but i have to say they do have very good selections nice animals but very horrible housing especially the prairie dogs and meerkats :( so sad

[@awesomeking6]

[@snarfbot]

these actually all started out as gerbils, but have since mutated spectacularly, thanks fukashima!

[@Jimena888_.]

We should demand and sue this store

[@casey-gt8nl]

[@marioalejandro3048]

U know how racist that sounds

[@casey-gt8nl]

I was jk

[@tessaparker2375]

well it didn't seem like it.. >:\

[@marioalejandro3048]

Im christian you know and a kid

[@casey-gt8nl]

I am Buddhist and a child I am very sorry I never realized how racist that sounded.

[@Mikey8028]

Overcrowded and full of shit that shouldn't be there. Just like ANY pet store. The worst pet stores you see are American ones. I'll grant you that most American pet stores won't have a meercat in the open. But you can get all that shit and MORE in America, plus these types of pets are less common in Japan. In America you can get tigers, lions, crocodiles, giant monitor lizards and primates that people just can't look after. ANYTHING you think of. It's for sale, with no proof of the quality of the home you'll provide. The only way you can get in trouble is if your neighbor looks over the fence and sees you've got a crocodile in a slimy pit and you're feeding it fucking pizza and chips ahoy (yes that's real)

[@Mikey8028]

Word. You should need to prove your commitment and knowledge. Too many idiots buy iguanas or monitors or reticulated or burmese pythons when they're small and can't cope with the size so dump em on someone. Same goes for exotic fish like arowana, gourami, etc.

[@Liv-om4mu]

stillborn wait someone fed their crocodile pizza and chips ahoy 😂

[@meganjohnson2039]

is it bad that the first thing i thought of when i saw the meerkat was not that they need to be in groups, but they need a lot more substrate than that. look how desperately hes trying to dig

[@meganjohnson2039]

+Megan Johnson this is not my youtube account wft google still my account but not the one i use for youtube :/

[@bayleamussen694]

I felt so bad for those little meerkats. They were soo cute! Great video by the way!

[@viktorcheng2061]

Baylea Mussen They run in groups like Timon from the Lion King.

[@bayleamussen694]

+Viktor Cheng I love the lion king!
