Appalachian Family Fights to Keep Pet Lion

[Miss Z]

I don't think that they should keep the lion, they are not domestic pets but large animals which need to be in a large space and live a natural life. I think he would be much more at home at a good safari or conservation park.

Oh honestly, people these days. Put the lion where it belongs and get a dog. In Wisconsin we can buy pet penguins now, ridiculous.

Poor "Kitty". What a sad life.

I wish they would do a lot more to regulate the exotic animal trade. Esp for reptiles.

Meaning what? Regulating venomous reptile? Alligators?

Most of the snakes and lizards I have seen in the average persons care are in extremely poor health. Most people who buy large snakes or other reptile seem to enjoy having them, but do little for the care. It has almost got to the point where I would like to see private ownership of exotic animals banned.

Actually, I am pretty sure you can buy them somewhere down here in Louisiana already.

When I was in the Wisc. Dells there is a store that sells alligators. Some people may think when they are only 6 inches long they could be a cute, fun pet. I'm sure not every thinks that when they suddenly grow to 4 feet long.

I wouldn't nesscarily want "Kitty" out for saftey reasons, but, for his sake. It's not fair to keep an animal like that in a cage. I hope he gets a better home.
