This is just insane. We need to slap a lawsuit on these people.



http://animal.discovery.com/tv/fatal-attractions/5-exotic-pet-laws.html

Check out the "Strange Exotic Laws" - it reads just like a page out of the HSUS activism handbook for which states to target and push laws at!



I was talking to my friend Jason and said that I saw the ad bit for the new "season" of "Fatal Attractions" - AKA -



"if you own and exotic, you are insane and it will kill you someday"



And I still think we need to point out the insanity of this stuff to the everyday person - To those who have not seen the add, it shows a hallway and then a door and says "They lived together for years" and pauses and then "he just wanted her love, and she just wanted to play" and then it shows a Tiger licking its lips and then a crash cart in a hospital.



What about some domestics for this frenzy of animal hate? - they kill more people then exotics -



See, they could have Christopher Reeves twisted body shown, and then say "He was Superman, and had the world at his fingertips - until he met his Kryptonite" - and then show the rearing horse that threw him in VA, rendering him a quadriplegic for the rest of his life, or what about showing a cute photo of a Weimeraner (maybe even one of those really endearing William Wegman photos of the dogs all dressed up) and say, "He was the beloved family friend, and no one expected him to be a killer, until one day out came his true predatory nature - and then show the gruesome photos of Liam Perk (he was 2) after being the family's dog had administered the single quick killing bite to his neck and shook him like a ragdoll.



I know we won't see this stuff, because the agenda by Animal Planet is to slur exotic keepers, and the things I suggest above would upset the mainstream animal keepers and might even be considered disrespectful to say, Christopher Reeve or Liam Perk and his family, or the hundreds of other people who could be on shows that are killed by their horses or dogs.



Its perfectly OK though to disrespect and slur exotic animal keepers - remember everyone, we are the new trash on the block!
