There is no good reason to own a wild animal, says animal welfare advocate and former actor Tippi Hedren. "It's usually an impulse buy by somebody who wants something other than a dog or a cat," said Hedren by phone from her home in California.

She's right! NEVER, EVER buy a "pet" for someone else.

So true. Wild animals are never really tamed even the ones born in captivity.

So true, feed your ego in some other manner other than forcing wild animals to suffer abuse from poor care and captivity.

LEAVE WILD ANIMALS ALONE BEFORE YOU AND IT GET HURT. YOU MAY ONLY GET HURT BUT ONCE AN ANIMAL PROTECTS IT SELF OR PLAYS TO ROUGH IT IS A DEATH SENTENCE FOR IT
