background to adoption of exotic pets

The suspension of non -domestic animals is a problem that can be observed in many parts of Germany, but also worldwide. Interest in exotic pets, especially reptiles, has increased significantly in recent years. This also explains why species like the Anakonda are repeatedly found in unsuitable habitats. According to Spiegel.de the animals and the local fauna can lead.

The interest in reptiles such as snakes, turtles and chameleons is particularly large, whereby many pet owners do not find out about the special keeping conditions of these animals. The wwf emphasizes that any kind of individual demands on keeping conditions have an extremely large one, such as the anakonda or certain pythone snakes. Many types of reptiles are not only through the Cites Convention, which regulates trade in endangered species, but also protected by national laws.

The dangers of illegal animal trade and the overuse of wild populations affect not only exotic species, but also the domestic wildlife. If animals like the anaconda found are exposed to, this can result in serious ecological consequences. The police and animal welfare organizations therefore call up to take responsibility before buying an exotic animal as a pet to avoid similar incidents in the future
