CatsMom,

How wonderfully said! I love this site, in fact, it's my favorite on the web. However, the displaying of wild animals as "pets" may make more people "want a wild animal as a pet/status symbol". I also feel that the owning of a wild animal is not only cruel to the animal but it's dangerous to the caretakers. It seems that it truly is more of a status symbol then anything else, what's wrong with having a dog or cat? How could anyone need more "pet" then that?
