Can I just go back a few posts and add my support to Piglet...........I have met him and Chris and had the pleasure of being shown all their animals. They are all fantastically well cared for and all their dietary and housing needs are met, and more. This site would be a much sadder place without Piglets advice.

Re: keeping monkeys as pets.
Quote:
I think the point here is, whether it be right or wrong, these animals are being brought into the UK. No matter what anyones opinion on keeping these and other exotic animals are, i think we will all agree that we want whats best for the animal. If the animal is already in the UK and unable to be put back into the wild, then i would far rather see it go to a responsible good pet owner like bruceleetortoise then someone who wont care for it. We all do the best for the animals we have in our care. |
