Good Time To Turn In Illegal Pets

By Stephen Ayer


Do you remember when you were a child playing hide-and-seek? Whenever it was time to call in the final person who was hiding, a person would yell, "Ollie Ollie in free." That's sort of what a couple of states did recently for exotic pet owners. To get the owners to surrender their illegal pets and animals not found in the area, regulators turned their heads away and stuck out their hands to confiscate creatures.

Florida and Connecticut chartered such events this year. In some cases while they do this, they will take exotic pets that aren't unlawful simply to make certain they are not left in the hands of a person who no longer wants to maintain it. You might have read the tale regarding the alligator in the sewer: That's how it got there. In the two most significant immunity events recently, Miami took the permissible animals; but Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, Connecticut wouldn't.

Owners surrendered a large range of creatures. A Connecticut writer stated the pets included a numerous sorts of exotic birds, a 6-foot iguana, a leopard tortoise, a Burmese python, an alligator, a tiger and a mountain lion. The list of animals gathered by Zoo Miami in Florida included monitor lizards, red-eared sliders, a coatimundi, pythons, red-eared sliders, exotic birds, tortoises and turtles.

If you love animals, you can't help but wonder what people are thinking when they do something stupid like possess 60 mice or 30 snakes. That is the form of behavior that attracts the attention of the authorities and wrecks things for conscientious pet owners.

As animal enthusiasts, we all want our liberty to keep the sort of animals we are capable of handling. But possessing these types of pets is almost like having children. And it's a thing you shouldn't do if you aren't ready for them. This is particularly correct if you are not happy take care of them.

It's a good idea to not get yourself into problems from the start. In other words, you understand ahead of time that having an alligator is a terrible idea, and so don't get one. In fact, you could get something like a dragon and enjoy it more as it is not dangerous.

A chat with the zoo in your area may help you understand what animals the state permits you to possess. Don't assume all exotic pets are illegal. Educating yourself regarding what your state will allow might even provide you with guidelines concerning what sort of pet you would like.

If you have an outlawed exotic pet, now is a good time to see if your zoo wants it. Although you may simply have one that is turning out to be hard to maintain, the authorities may accept it to be of assistance. Just make a nameless call until you feel at home with matters. There's no need to surrender more details than necessary.
