So true, Animal planet has a new series called Deadly Animal Obsessions- its about these people who own lions, tigers, chimps, bears etc & die by them. They all seem to have a similar pattern, starting with fascination, ownership then they turn the pet into a child of theirs, that they claim to have a unique bond with.
The talked about how so many people are allowed to own Tigers as pets & how most of them become unruly & have to be euthanized.
The owners should be euthanized. Hell, I stay away from my housecat when she's pissed off so I don't understand why the hell someone would want to have a tiger in the house or a monkey or whatever. People think chimps are cute but they are dangerous and strong as hell. Wasn't it last year when that chimp ripped that woman's face and both hands off?
The sad thing is that when someone's exotic pet does something which WE ALL KNOW IT WILL DO, it's euthanized because it's a danger to the public. Well, it shouldn't have been with the public in the first place.
Sorry, this is a "pet" peeve of mine.
