We are constantly hearing that a shark is being killed for attacking/eating a person. We hear a mountain lion is being tracked for kill after it attacked a person. The same goes for bears and any other animal "brazen" (HA!) enough to hurt/kill/eat a human...animals were put here BEFORE us...WE moved in and built our homes/stores/roads in THIER homes....but let us feel free to kill them for living instinctually while we steal thier homes and quite possibly thier food sources. That alone, should prevent ANYONE from breeding mountain lions.

The very idea of someone breeding these animals is terrible. I'd like to hear the "logic" behind it being "OK" to breed "exotic" animals for the betterment of others...is that what you are saying? Its OK to breed them and sell them to whoever can get a few bucks just as long as the breeders "love" their animals and offer information to zoo's (not all that great of a selling point) and rescues. I''m sorry, but if there weren't people out there selling a black bear for $600.00, there wouldn't be much need to have a rescue group.

If these people really cared for the welfare of these animals, they wouldn't be breeding them. Its as simple as that, I'm not not understanding anything.

I care greatly for all animals. It hurts my heart that so many of them are being exploited this way. It hurts my heart to see dogs, cats, birds, ect. being purchased and either given up or ignored due to humans no longer caring. You know what I do about it?? I volunteer at a no-kill shelter. We socialize cats so they can have a new life, with some one who really loves them. I adopt "regular" cats from the shelter, I don't contribute to the problem. That is what you are doing....you are contributing to this problem....
