“The conditions were just absolutely deplorable. The odor in there, the fecal matter, flies everywhere, deceased animals, I mean you name it. It was just horrifying" - Vicky Vangorder, a Humane Society Police Officer pahomepage.com/news/i-team/ov…
It's impossible to provide an environment as complex and rich as the wild for a marmoset kept as a pet. It's time for the UK government to adopt a #positivelist to protect wild animals from become inappropriate pets. #animalwelfare lancs.live/news/lancashir…

Here is one of the many breeders in Ireland selling mice they have raised as "feeder" mice for reptiles. Not only are such conditions cruel, they are also the perfect breeding grounds for zoonotic diseases. ctvnews.ca/health/salmone…

Most of the turtles were sold to people in Hong Kong in China but turtle sales are booming in the US too. Illegal or legal, it doesn't matter. Turtles don't belong in human homes. nytimes.com/2023/04/26/us/…
The increasing costs of attempting to meet the needs of exotic animals is driving some owners to cruelly abandon them. the-gazette.co.uk/news/23467025.…
Encouraging news! The @EU_Commission is urging countries to protect tigers from illegal wildlife trade. Multiple member states allow circuses and private owners to keep or breed tigers. An EU Positive List would be the perfect tool to end this suffering. en.aap.eu/news/eu-protec…
Barbary macaque Beatrix recently moved to our Dutch rescue center after many years in solitude. 💚 We hope her story convinces German authorities to adopt a Positive List as part of the revised animal welfare laws. Wild animals like Beatrix are not pets. en.aap.eu/news/beatrix-f…
Solving a problem that should not exist. Wild animals suffer physical and mental harm when kept as pets. theguardian.com/environment/20…
This is the heartbreaking reality of captive otters. 🦦💔
‘Think twice’ before buying ‘exotic’ pets: eight in ten vets concerned about the welfare of reptiles, birds and other non-traditional pets The only solution is for the introduction of a #positivelist in the UK. Lets end the suffering of #exoticpets bva.co.uk/news-and-blog/…
Instead of being sold into the #exoticpet trade, this loris will now have another chance to enjoy his life in the wild!

The report includes prices of apes. “Chimpanzees are the least expensive, with gorillas costing up to 10 times more”

Did you know there are unlicensed individuals in Ireland who are currently breeding & selling snakes & feeder mice in their homes? There is no reason why such an outbreak couldn't happen in Ireland. When it comes to the #exoticpet trade, the "rewards" are not worth the risk.
Axolotls and capybaras are TikTok famous—and that could be a problem. That is why AAP advocates for the Positive List approach: only allow animal species to be kept as pets that are found suitable by experts and ban all species that are not. nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…
Fantastic report from @Kenyadan10 on great ape trafficking & the use of social media & modern technology for wildlife trafficking. Great apes are also victims of the #exoticpet trade.

Dangerous pets are also kept in Dublin, but as there is no reporting or licensing mechanism in place, no one knows where they are being kept.
