@1979 people order these exotic snakes often and then either let them go on purpose or they get out. It’s so irresponsible.

[@sainjawoof3506]

No she was actually playing, if you know anything about feline behaviour. They do unfortunately have claws that are 6-8cm long, and as strong as carbon fibre. She was probably just marking her with her interdigital gland. However, they should not be pets, and definitely should not be exposed to people with no experience.

[@sainjawoof3506]

@@aprilleerose so true. There are more tigers in captivity in the US alone, than all those left in the wild.

[@HeathenDance]

Actually, the owner may be right. The problem is that the animal itself is ENORMOUS and immensely strong. Those who have cats, like I do, know that sometimes - depending on the animal's "personality" - they can attack and bite, and yes, they are trying to play. Some cats are like this, others not so much. I have a permanent scar from playing with a teenage cat, 6 years ago. Now imagine, a freaking tiger or a lion. The difference is, indeed, the animal's size.

[@cherrypink1108]

@@sainjawoof3506 Yea kind of like a house cat. I mean they do scratch and don't know their own strength so maybe the lion thought she was playing and it was an accident. Now being viscously mauled is different.

Big snake owners sometimes forget that a full grown python is a very large, very strong predator with a very small brain

[@queenofarkham0054]

We don’t forget, some large snake owners are not smart about the way they handle these beings of pure muscle, yes some do forget that they are 100% dangerous when handled incorrectly, once they get over 6 foot there is no more handling by yourself we have a 15 foot retic at home me and my husband handle her together so no one gets hurt

[@itsmemoonie3672]

Yup heard about it...

[@Elthenar]

I can believe that. If you die, you are no longer a person, you are food. THere are plenty of tales of finding dead people whose dogs had partially eaten them. The biggest monitor lizard is the famous Komodo, which tops out at about 10 feet. Pet monitors are usually quite a bit smaller. Although a buddy of mine had a Savanna monitor that was pushing 6 feet, which is gargantuan for the species.

I don't ever remember that.... As a kid growing up in the 90's, I vaguely remember hearing of chimp attacks and various big cats, snakes, alligators & crocodiles & caymans, hippos... The list goes on.. so I imagine the laws are what they are now bc of people having even crazier animals as pets since I know the 60's the laws started popping up over various dog breeds so imagine what it was like before any laws stating what you can & can't keep! Even now in Wisconsin you can but baby cayman Crocs & alligators in the gas stations and the law states it's legal as long as their mouths are taped up at all times & wondered how you feed em if they can't be un-taped ever for the safety of all the kids wanting one cause they only $4.00 for newborns!

Yes. Funny thing, chimps don't want to wear tuxedos, sailor uniforms and eat in the dining room. They just want to be chimps and hang with their homies. Actually, I'm surprised he didn't snap sooner.

[@flor9345]

@@melissarivard7238 As long as they don’t give the tarantula for the child to “learn about responsibility”. Giving a child any sort of pet with the purpose of letting a CHILD be responsible is just torture for the animal. Think of parents buying their kids hamsters, most of the time they live in constant abuse because a child doesn’t know anything about hamsters and the parents never did any research on it either. But, my mum once got me a tarantula for my birthday and she lived in a cage in our living room (He was a columbian hairy spider so he wasn’t afraid of being on display) she did plenty of research, and took care of him herself, we respected him, and he’s still alive even today, because we cared.

[@Pink_Scarab]

Exactly

[@briannaharter4411]

A new world tarantula like the ones that they got is normally harmless.those hairs don't really do much besides cuase light irration unless you let them get in your eyes. The real iusse is getting a pet without researching it and relying on pet shop for informantion.even dog when improperly cared for due to lack of resreach can become dangerous in fact dogs are more dangerous cuase unlike truanaucla they can actually killed when not trained and socialised properly. But sure lets owes blame exotics/the type of pet rather then poeple getting animals without resreach or being prepared.since it's obvouisly the animal that matters.

So true. I only believe in keeping them for education and conservation, and for the making of antivenin which saves many many lives every year. Or if an animal was rescued and it was unable to be returned to the wild, then that’s the only way they should get zoo animals. I absolutely hate the illegal and legal exotic pet trade. Those tiny monkeys that everyone thinks r adorable dressed up in a diaper and clothes........most don’t know that they r ripped off the back of their mother when only 2 days old. Most also take all of their teeth out at this time so they won’t ever be able to bite. They r then sold for top dollar. And they end up with a diaper and clothes in a persons house. And they wonder why the poor thing is acting out. Monkeys are very social animals and live their entire lives in a family group. And on top of that, the mom mourns the loss of her baby until she is pregnant again. The cries coming from both the mom and baby are just heartbreaking. They can hear each other but can’t get to each other. They make sure the baby is bottle feeding and they remove the teeth before they go to their new owners. So the mom and baby can hear each other for that week. It’s just so so wrong.

[@LizC-hq6tt]

@@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289 I agree 100% It's truly sickening what humans are capable of, for $, and status, & just because... Then people who think they love them but them treat them like humans and just can't understand why they ripped their friends face, fingers, ECT... example. Travis the chimp... They said they treated him like he was their son... The day Travis attacked her friend the owner had given him a Xanax (which doesn't work the same on chimps as it does ppl, and again humanizing him..) because he was obviously making her nervous. That chimp was losing his shit is what he was doing, from years of being treated like a Human... None of his instincts were ever gratified, I imagine that had to have been incredibly frustrating to for him.. it's just sad what people do to animals for really selfish reasons...
