Discrimination
I am socially unacceptable. It is because I am an exotic pet owner. I have a skunk, ferret, and a raccoon, sharing my home, as well as a wide variety of other exotic pets. I am responsible for these pets. Some people should never have pets, some people should never give birth to a child.

Exotic pets, for that matter any pet, I don’t care if it is a dog, cat, ferret, all pets, they should always be supervised especially when around children. If an exotic pet injures a child it is the caregivers fault. If a child injures a pet, again, it is the caregivers fault.

Exotic Pets Found in Dumpsters Still in Cages
A hedgehog found in a dumpster; cage and all. A rabbit tied to a tree, the skin had grown over its collar. How many thousands of innocents must suffer? Animals left starving, no food, no water, stuck in their cages; abandoned when their people moved out. You talk the talk, will you walk the walk?

Eyes of an Angel
I had put forth a question and perhaps got an answer I didn’t want to hear. Do we give up our exotic pets to eliminate the exotic pet trade? As I look at my pets and look into their eyes I know I can’t stop. They give me something I can’t get anywhere else.

Fatal Attraction - Rebuttal
The odds of death or serious injury by exotic pet are so minuscule, though this certainly is not how it is portrayed by the media and assuredly not Animal Planet and their new documentary Fatal Attraction.

PETA - Animal Rights

Responsibility Exotic Pet Ownership
My priorities of what makes a responsible exotic pet owner have changed due to recent events. Think long and hard - what would be best for our exotic pets. Sometimes we must put our feelings aside. We can’t be selfish.

The many shades of gray will eternally be my rainbow. Animal, swine all offensive derogatory terms; perception is a funny thing. Perhaps we need to understand animals better to understand our pets or other people's pets. Or, perhaps why some people have exotic pets.
