That poor little Alligator living in a crappy little cage with a piece of wood in it ….. that’s cruel .. if you plan to keep ANY creature you need to provide decent living conditions!!

[@drampadude9216]

So I'm not theonly one thinking that

[@michaelagrundler9250]

😢 It's so selfish and cruel to keep wild animals in captivity! It's discusting!!!

[@awildarodriguez4491]

WILD ANIMALS BELONG IN THE WILD WITH THEIR OWN KIND. EVERY HUMAN THAT RATIONALIZES KEEPING THEM IN CAPTIVITY FOR WHATEVER REASON SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY. PLEASE LET THESE BEAUTIFUL WILD ANIMALS ROAM FREE. IT IS THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT. How would you like to be imprisoned?

[@allenmelton3367]

Try telling that to the wild animal keepers face

[@michaelagrundler9250]

Sorry, but I'm a kynologist and dogtrainer for 20years now and RC & Sharon make me feel sick! We keep a buffalo in the house, so we also can keep wolves in the house 🙄??? Yeah, that's sounds like experts 🤦 Discusting! That's how problems starts! The way her "pet" walks on this leash is a discusting sad view😢

[@1984NatashaT]

She’s absolutely delusional. She’ll regret thinking she can domesticate a wild animal when it turns on her one day!

[@tammyfrancis7856]

I absolutely can not believe he keeps that poor alligator in such a small container! What a miserable life! No wonder it’s angry! That container is meant for one rabbit, and even that is cruel. This makes me sad. 9:42 no bloody wonder it hates. Ewing put back!

[@cordulam]

I would say it is a hamster cage. It is far to small for a rabbit and the poor alligator can hardly even turn around in it. The cage is not only incredible cruel to the animal, but also very dangerous for the handler. He has to stick in his hands through that small door every time.

[@gregjackson4529]

Death row inmates have better accommodations! What an outage. And I'm not a big animal cruelty guy but this is wrong no matter the circumstance.

[@michaelagrundler9250]

😢 The monkeys with the huge collars is such a sad view! How can you do this!

[@drampadude9216]

That one woman was trying to stop male lions from fighting im wondering how effective her approach was

[@dustinh4175]

This should be called animal horders

[@brianlain4164]

First of all Mark is nothing like Noah. Second thing is keeping wild animals in captivity is no different than putting humans in solitary confinement

[@toad5545]

Some nerve calling that first guy an expert. I love reptiles! I own lizards and a snake. Some of them make great pets. Some make terrible pets, and some people make terrible owners. When owning any pet, you should ask yourself why you want to own the animal. If its just because its cool, that doesnt really justify owning the animal. You also need to know if you can give that animal what it needs in captivity. People will keep 15ft pythons in a short 8ft cage. You can see it with his boa, the poor thing has poor body condition and is morbidly obese. She looks what, about 6ft i would say. An animal like that deserves at bare minimum an 8ft long, 6ft tall enclosure. You will find pictures of adult boas in trees. There are responsible ways to own exotics, and there are irresponsible ways to own exotics.

[@1984NatashaT]

Jan thinks a lion born in captivity makes it safe?! They are STILL wild animals!

[@buffalorick5598]

Great show. I like be wild cats! Bobcats, Tigers, Leopards 🐆!

[@Lisa-s7x]

I can’t watch this😢

[@rachaellamb8787]

Same . Soon as I saw the alligator in a tiny cage with a plank of wood :( poor precious animals

[@m3ll0wbaby]

Love it❤

[@im-Sara-Jayne.]

I am 100% against circus animals! They spend 70% of their lifes on the road. They never have any familiar territory and it should be banned in EVERY COUNTRY! like the uk. It really is a miserable life for them 😢

[@josephfelia6531]

For me I love amphibians reptiles and insects what I follow is that if you have the knowledge and care requirements of what that species needs then you can keep them. But if you don't know anything about the care needs of that critter then you should not have it because it's not fair to them. This goes with all animals and critters.

[@KC55960]

Circuses are extremely cruel , wild animals aren't meant to live like that. I will say the woman shown in this show was an exception to the rule , her animals seem to be well cared for under the circumstances. But what's going to happen to them when they're too old or pass away. Breading more is criminal. Sigfied and Roy had to learn the hard way these animals should not be kept in captivity and made to do unnatural things like tricks for our entertainment. The more I see of this couple with the circus the more I see how truly ignorant the are of their animals needs. They're in a unique position to expose the cruelty of these practices and the need to outlaw circuses and the like.

[@KC55960]

They should never be kept and sold as pets it's an extremely cruel and unfair to the animals except to rescue animals that aren't equipped to live in the wild,I admire and respect the dedication of the people that rescued these animals from an otherwise cruel and inadequate life.

[@KC55960]

Seeing these beautiful wild creatures living their lives in these inadequate much too small cages with little or no enrichment is heartbreaking.

[@sheilastrickland7091]

There is no way that you had to kill all the animals

[@gregjackson4529]

You really can't blame the cops for killing the animals. Their deaths are on the person who released them. It's a shame they had to die but imagine you and your child walking out to your car and a lion turns the corner to confront you.... The police had no choice but you use extreme force in order to protect a vulnerable population. I love animals but I love people more I'm sorry

[@botmfedr1m291]

I do not see the point in keeping snakes, alligators or other exotic species. Or more than one cat or dog for that matter. I think people who do, have some kind of problem. I spend all my time invested in my children.

[@cordulam]

What's the point of having more than one dog? They are pack animals and much happier with companies. What do your children have to do with this topic?

[@feedtherich11]

@@cordulam exactly right I always have two dogs they keep each other happy , play with each other , agree what does her kids have to do with this

[@KC55960]

That couple that are raising and selling wolves as pets should have all their animals taken away and have stiff fines imposed and if they persist they should be jailed.

[@seki8063]

What is wrong with people? That woman said, " I have Bison as pat and Wolves. Clearly, it could be seen that bison was stressed when it was close to wolf. They let their grandkids play with some of the wolves! They are sick! They need to see psychiatrist not having wild animals!
