Okay, so supposidly everyone who keeps exotics is mistreating their animals. So PETA comes in and takes them, and kills them. Does that make any sense? NO!

First, they are usually endangered, threatened, or exticnt in the wild. Thus futher hurting the species, we are keeping alive. Not to mention, the accepted means of killing animals is through lethal injection.

BIG probelm when reptiles are concerned. Being cold blooded the poison takes much longer to circulate and cause its effect. I remember not to long ago a poster had a male boa that had a broken spine, a crushed section. He had to put the animal down, it was given three injection equivalent to those used on 60 lb. dogs. One would kill a dog instantly, but three in a snake and it still took (I think 30 min.) a long time to die. And these people want to say we are not being Humane?

I love Veal, the calf was born for food, her parents were born and raised to produce offspring for food, and to later be food themselves. If it weren't for my hunger, they would not have existed!
