This jigsaw puzzle section is made and maintained by
www.ZooFun4u.com. It is not part of
the official website for
www.TurpentineCreek.org. However it is purposed to be in support
of the outstanding efforts of the staff and volunteers at Turpentine Creek
Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs Arkansas.
The public needs to recognize just how large the problems are that are caused
by the private exotic pet trade. People buy exotic pets from
unscrupulous breeders without considering all that goes with owning an
exotic pet. They just think about what a cute cuddly baby it is.
Later when the exotic pet is no longer a cute cuddly baby but a grown
carnivore they end up dumping it on rescue / refuge facilities. This a real problem
because facilities turn away hundreds of these unwanted animals every single
year. That number keeps growing by leaps and bounds every year.
This IS a HUGE problem that is getting worse every year.
These facilities are ALL full the brim and running over. They are
all supported only by donations. These facilities run on shoe string budgets and
they work themselves ragged trying to raise the funds to support the unwanted
dumped exotic pets while the unscrupulous breeders get rich without
obligation and without regard to what happens to these animals as they mature
they just keep on breeding and selling to unqualified 'pet' owners. They
continue creating more animals than the facilities will later be able to
hold.
These breeders make their blood money and do NOTHING to help support these
animals when the 'pet' owners they sold them too need a dumping ground...
Laws must change. The only way that will happen is if each and every one of
you complain AND KEEP COMPLAINING.. about the exotic pet trade problem to your local, state and federal
law makers.
Be a squeaky wheel demanding grease (action) Be Heard... Make yourself
heard!!!
Visit "Tiger In My Backyard" to
see what YOU can do to help change the laws. Also read about some horror stories
of the exotic pet trade.
If you love exotic animals, I suggest you visit a rescue or refuge
facility nearest to your home and offer to volunteer, buy a membership, sponsor an
animal or do whatever you can to help in the effort to rescue these animals.
If you know of an unscrupulous breeder report them. Tell your local and state
law makers that you do NOT approve of having an unscrupulous exotic 'pet'
breeder in your area!! By doing that YOU can make a difference!!
