Yes I agree. I dislike the breeding of black bear, and bobcat etc.

There are not any rescues that take in Mink that I am aware of.
I am working on my license for that area also. I used to take in bobcat but we had to let Dans father 'borrow" the house so....But as soon as he finds a place we get it back, thank god!!

I do plan to breed Servals one day, after I have enough money and get my CITES license. But this will be conservation (they are endangered species) and will only be sold to other conservationists or zoos and educational facilities such as Wildlife on Easy Street.

Unfortunately exotic pets are all too easy to get ahold of. We have a unique animal expo comming up in February. They bring all sorts of exotics, even Caracals! Most they bring (like caracals who are listed in CITES) are illegal here without a holding/propagating license, USDA license and a CITES license. Others are just plain illegal period! I know there will be many people who go and leave with another exotic pet they have never researched and know nothing about! Most people breed just for money, it makes me sick!
