My Mama said she was shocked to see some family members having sugar gliders as pets. They seem to think that those gorgeous creatures are just another hamster, albeit more upmarket. And if it dies, they'll just buy another one. So cruel and heartless. Sorry...Angelina raving and ranting today. <br />Oh, them parrots?

I feel horrid for the animals - away from their natural habitat, and having idiots gaping and gawking at them!<br /><br />And I despise even more those that think it is 'cute' to keep exotic pets. Most times, they end up abandoning them, because they are wild creatures and are ... wild! So, no taming them!<br /><br />And those drunken parrots? That's too funny! I hope it's not a virus, though.

They were trained to go back to the jungle, but when we got there, the cartels had taken over and were NOT willing to have these little monkeys on their land - so they were taken to the USA and dispersed to various places from there.

Bad news is - one is still missing. Perhaps the buyer chickened out when he realises that the theft has attracted a lot of attention.

But in the case of these cutesy monkeys, they are there on a breeding programme - only 300 of them left in the wild, you know.... The zoo where they were (before they were abducted) is actually a research centre but instead of keeping them in laboratories, they're kept in zoo-like enclosures. Those lorikeets?

It is patronising and wrong of humans to trade in animals as though they were inanimate lumps. <br /><br />In Bryan Christy's docu-novel, "The Lizard King", there was a wildlife smuggler who hid a pygmy marmoset in his hair. <br /><br />It must be either a very tiny monkey or that man must have really big hair.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145006352697447780.post-67579873488865926202010-06-02T17:50:14.218+08:002010-06-02T17:50:14.218+08:00Dear Uncle Wan,
