You see those poor animals rocking back and forth and that’s sad. These animals have been taken from their families as babies and stuck in a cage. Cruelty and more cruelty.
Mainly humans don’t care about other animals. They care very very much about controlling and dominating other humans. Sometimes to the point they fool themselves into believing they care about other animals. But if that were true, the world simply wouldn’t be as it is, and that’s that.
Humans can be so very strange, odd, and sometimes (albeit unconsciously) cruel to the point of putting others in harm out of personal selfishness, projection, anthropomorphizing animals and keeping them confined.
I still find it amazing that a man raised a full grown tiger in a apartment building, I think in New York. That thing was huge. It was confiscated, sent to a sanctuary here in Ohio. Owner went crazy and released all the animals and than committs suicide. Unfortunately the tiger had to be put down. I can't remember why they couldn't dart him. It was scary for the people having predator animals on the lose. Resident in a near bye nursing home kept saying they could see a tiger looking out the window in a upper floor apartment., maybe the 4th or 5th floor. No one believed them until someone else seen it and called the police. The story can be googled.
The New York City tiger ended up in nabraska with its owner. They are still comrades. Those are two separate true stories someone conflated falsely to make one big morality tale that oversimplifies the complex situation.
I remember that as well. Antoine Yates. He was on the top floor and had a full grown, female Bengal Tiger named Ming. She was absolutely gorgeous but not fair at all for the cat to be cooped up in an apartment. She weighed in at 425lbs! The only reason Police found out was because Ming bit him and he had to go to the hospital. He tried to claim it was a bite from a Pitbull. If you 'copilot' this it says that the 'tiger was eventually tranq'd and relocated to an animal sanctuary.' Which is a bald-faced damn lie as a cop was dangling from the roof looking directly into the apartment where Ming was at. The cop shot her. Dead. No tranqs
Why would you want an exotic pet? Narcissism is all I can think of. If you want a companion, get a dog. It is called mans best friend for a reason. They've adapted to humans for thousands of years. Their brains are basically rewired to live with us and understand us.
But the cruelty is no different with a dog or cat. They are taken from family and placed where they don't want to be. So if it's okay to be cruel to dogs cause we say they like it then why can't someone else say the animal of their choosing likes it?
@@brandonluther80 have you seen dogs? Almost all of them are living happy lives. They regard their owners as friends and family. Dogs have been selected for millenia. To be docile and happy around humans. Also we humans understand the body language of dogs, we can tell if they are happy. Most dogs I've come across live blissfully happy lifes and show it. There natural habitat is around us. The proto dog that survived in packs in the natural world is basically gone. Most dog breeds would severely struggle to survive without their human and as some report have shown, go to great lengths to get back to them. On the other hand - I get taken away from my familie all the time. It first happened in Kindergarden, then school, then work, then I moved out completely to live with someone that is not related to me. Sometimes I wanted, sometimes I didn't, often I learned to enjoy it how things are. On the other hand as those places are fit for humans - I wouldn't be very happy to be thrown into condition that are not fit for me. Let's say, living in the savanna or jungle, as I don't have many usefull skills to survive there as it is completely unrelated to everything I experienced. If I buy a dog and seperate him from "his family" he will have been around humans. Probably inside a house, not unsimilar to his new circumstances. He will adapt very easily. You could make an argument about the ethics of breeding pets in general. But if you do that and follow through consequentially you have to arrive at a anti natalist view. If putting animals into a world that causes suffering to some degree to them, then so is putting other human beings in it
Dogs and cats are not taking away from their mothers few days old , most country have law before the puppies and kittens can leave their mom, 8or 12 weeks, these pet tigers (monkeys ,apes )are taken from their mothers,over to humans to connect to humans as young as possible only few days old ,
It makes me so sad the chimps were raised as humans basically and then sold to research labs…. How could any one with any sort of empathy do this 😢😭 how
Costa Rican here. It is illegal to own wildlife as pets in my country, even parakeets. Traveling circuses with animals were outlawed decades ago. The last traditional zoo was closed down this year. Only sanctuaries and wildlife rescue centers are allowed, and they need a license to operate, plus constant supervision. Many animals are rescued or confiscated from private homes. If they can be returned to the wild after a period of rehabilitation, they are. If not, like this jaguar named Guapo, who was raised by humans since he was a baby and does not have the skills to survive by himself, they are kept in special, very large enclosures, with trees, grass, undergrowth, bushes, caves, and small lakes or brooks, as similar as possible to their natural habitat. Cages such as those shown in the video are a definite no no.
A tiger could carry a grown man up a dang tree they are not pets leave them in the wild. There is also folks posting vids of people feeding wild animals racoon, deer, etc. You need to not feed them they will not be afraid of humans and you seal thier fates because you think you are helping.
Big cats in the exotic pet trade are captive bred. No one is capturing a sumatran tiger in the jungle, shipping it via cargo, only to sell as pets. These are captive bred meaning they CANNOT SURVIVE in the wild. And most ranchers do NOT want you to release your tiger to run free in Montana! Grow up
In the 70's in court I was sentenced to community service and Wildlife Way Station was on the list of places I could volunteer!!!!!! 280 hours, it was awesome... Sad to see it all gone now, everything and everyone just a memory, but good memories...
There's greenery everywhere in her sanctuary, absolutely everywhere..... but none in the shelters, and the cages are tiny. The wildlife have just gone from one prison to another, they're not happy. I'm not from America, but I've seen far better places over there for these poor animals to actually thrive.
This lady may have rescued a lot of animals but I think she is terrible, look at the size of those cages. They are far far to small for the bigger animals eg lions, they should have bigger cages it's cruel. Maybe she shouldn't rescue so many and instead make her cages bigger and more realistic eg have grass they can walk on instead of hard concrete.
One man in Ohio released a bunch of wild animals and killed himself. The police had to recapture or kill them, but my dad kept pigeons and when he felt he couldn’t care for them adequately anymore he had my mom call a responsible member of the pigeon hobby community to come get them. I imagine that’s how responsible people handle it with exotic animals. Or their families either take the animals on or call people. They’d be part of the estate, so they may be willed to responsible parties. In my family, the first thing we worry about when we get near our time is making sure our pets have future homes. My aunt and uncle even took my other uncle’s ex-wife’s dog after her funeral. We just don’t let dependent animals go uncared for, same as if old people and children need help. You just find a way.
Right?! They both seem like they might actually be clinically insane....that alligator didn't miss her dead husband. Ffs. And they actually thought the guy who reported them did it out of spite? Tf? 😂
the Wildlife Weigh Station featured in this doc was shut down because they weren't even meeting the MINIMUM requirements. It was never an accredited sanctuary. Just a glorified roadside zoo/private collection.
39:20 "Three months later I said, we gotta do something ~ quickly, cause they're gonna come back." Hmmm, three months wasn't quick enough I guess. Maybe that story was told out of sequence and it is when he saw the three cars that he said that?
No animal should be kept as an attraction to make money, and for those that keep them as pets they need to be ashamed of themselves. The only time a animal should be kept is if its been rescued and is for some reason unable to be released back in to it's natural habitat. I find it sick to keep the little monkeys as a pet, dressing them up like they are like some kind of toy. Makes me so angry to see all these stupid people keeping these poor things as pets. Just no need for it. Leave them alone to live their life in freedom. It should be illegal to keep any kind of wild animal as a pet. Breaks my heart to see them being kept un a house or a little cage, cruelty at its finest
I have a kitten of 6 months. She is vaccinated stérilised and has a microchip. She goes outside now. We have a very big garden and live next to the forest. We could never keep her in. She cries to go out and rolls on the floor so she goes out when she wants. We are always a bit anxious about what could happen to her. But she’s a cat and must live a cats life.
Coming from Africa made you an expert in every field? Arrogance is (or was in Martine's case RIP) alive and well. Every enclosure is a small concrete slab surrounded by a chain link fence in which the Department of Fish and Game deemed as "serious cage violations". Animals pacing and rocking back and forth is abnormal and a sign of stress. Human greed, ignorance and arrogance is wiping out EVERY species on the planet. Including us humans.
Actually, in other countries, the exotic pet trade is less regulated and sometimes not at all regulated. Sure, the US isn't perfect, but keep in mind where these animals are bought from!
Any animal can be a pet and safe guards need to be in place BUT every so often along comes an animal who is clearly your soul pet....I think Jackson is the exception to the rule, I'm not even sure if she could "croc" on her own, she is a very special animal
How's this any different? They're still in captivity, they're still NOT free. So the excuse for keeping them in captivity is because "people made it impossible for them to live in the wild." If the United States would stop putting them in zoo's etc, this wouldn't be necessary.
I don't particularly care for Martine. (Not sure if I spelled her name right.) Whether I did or not, though...The way she says things and just her attitude in general, reminds me of a "Know It All." Not saying she Doesn't know about wild animals, I just Highly Doubt she knows Everything about wild animals...She comes across as if she Does know Everything about wild animals, as well as, knowing more than Anyone Else in the world knows about them.
I'm still in the beginning of this video...and I'm sorry but I'm a little bit confused...the owner, Martine, is talking about how she wants the animals to be as close to in the wild as possible, "quality of life", and how she got her first mountain lion out of a "tiny cage" while I'm looking at these animals in itty-bitty cages where they can't run or play or anything... again, I'm still at the BEGINNING of the video so maybe I'll see something different and realize I'm wrong but as of right now, this is an awful existence for these animals. This isn't a beautiful sanctuary, they're locked in tiny cages. I mean, look at the size of the cages compared to the lions. They can barely walk around. I hope these animals get let out into a safe and contained big open space where they can play and run around. and the vet who says that she's privileged to go to work because it's fun and different every day... are you kidding me? It looks pretty mundane to me. It looks like the animals sit there all day every day and can't do much of anything that's fun or different. And then she laughs about the lion scratching her in the face as he's "cuddled" up against the fence?...wow. that's infuriating to me. Again, maybe I'm wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
“if you want a baby monkey don’t just have a baby” that’s crazy advice babies aren’t toys. it is more complex raising a child and there is more at risk when raising a baby. If you aren’t responsible enough and don’t do research for having a baby or monkey or don’t do ur due diligence don’t have either. I found it crazy how she would make that statement babies aren’t toys or an accessory.
Wonder what happened to the idiot running her "pet" panther alongside her rottwielers. This animal was running loose through the woods and chickie thought it was completely SAFE running alongside these protective dogs! I assume they were running in natural and "National" forests...I haven't seen a vid from HER in a long while:( People have no clue. It is sad and sickening.
Yh I don't feel sorry for people who do this n get killed or attack by animals. But i feel sorry for the wild Animals they qre wild animals what did you expect.
They should be careful how hard they push...these people are what pay their bills. Realistically pet ownership is a responsibility and the type of animal doesn't matter. I would not have a wild animal but I know many people who do, and safely. I bred dogs for years, but I wouldn't recommend doing that either if you don't know how. You have to educate yourself and learn how to do what you are going to do. Education, not restriction. That's the real key. There's no problem with owning an animal when you do the things necessary to care for it properly. I think its even important for learning love of wild animals when you see a captive one as a pet, even in a video because you see more of the personality of the animal. People's love is what keeps people from callously destroying the wilderness where they live. Think of the few pets not as prisoners but as important ambassadors for their species.
@somethingcleverrrr Have you ever looked up fatal dog attacks in America? The records date back to the 1800s and there have been far more fatalities from pet dogs than chimpanzees. No one has made a law banning dog ownership, but they have made leash laws to protect the public. I'm not saying people should own a wild animal, but I am saying they should have a right to, and laws should only be there for public safety not infringement of rights. This particular woman was not responsible with her animal and of course something bad happened, however, many more are very responsible and have had no issues. The same applies with dog owners. Most people keep their dogs fenced or on a leash but you know there's always that one person letting their aggressive dog run around loose in the neighborhood charging people and explaining it away saying the dog is excited or friendly and even yelling at you when you tell them it should be leashed. It isn't right to punish people who are responsible because of the behavior of irresponsible people.
Who invented the first animal?... Probably a Mr Monkey, because monkey is the oldest animal. He was the first to give his name to an animal species. Easy! Why didn't YOU come up with this??? Haha. Mom says I have a very huge QI... Sorry...

This isn't a beautiful sanctuary, they're locked in tiny cages. I mean, look at the size of the cages compared to the lions. They can barely walk around. I hope these animals get let out into a safe and contained big open space where they can play and run around.
and the vet who says that she's privileged to go to work because it's fun and different every day... are you kidding me? It looks pretty mundane to me. It looks like the animals sit there all day every day and can't do much of anything that's fun or different. And then she laughs about the lion scratching her in the face as he's "cuddled" up against the fence?...wow. that's infuriating to me. Again, maybe I'm wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Check out Pat Derby's sanctuary.
This is so cool. She is cool.
“if you want a baby monkey don’t just have a baby” that’s crazy advice babies aren’t toys. it is more complex raising a child and there is more at risk when raising a baby. If you aren’t responsible enough and don’t do research for having a baby or monkey or don’t do ur due diligence don’t have either.
I found it crazy how she would make that statement babies aren’t toys or an accessory.
But shouldn't you choose the girlfriend over the monkey so the monkey can go to a sanctuary? I thought u were against people having exotic pets?

Wonder what happened to the idiot running her "pet" panther alongside her rottwielers. This animal was running loose through the woods and chickie thought it was completely SAFE running alongside these protective dogs! I assume they were running in natural and "National" forests...I haven't seen a vid from HER in a long while:( People have no clue. It is sad and sickening.
28:51 why wouldn't the planet exist in 200 years???
These people are selfish & irresponsible keeping wild animals prisoners..they should spend the money on getting them back to the wild..
Yh I don't feel sorry for people who do this n get killed or attack by animals. But i feel sorry for the wild Animals they qre wild animals what did you expect.
Humans will do anything but atempt to save themselves,
Well-meaning maybe but cruel, only catering to humans
It never worked did it
They should be careful how hard they push...these people are what pay their bills. Realistically pet ownership is a responsibility and the type of animal doesn't matter. I would not have a wild animal but I know many people who do, and safely. I bred dogs for years, but I wouldn't recommend doing that either if you don't know how. You have to educate yourself and learn how to do what you are going to do. Education, not restriction. That's the real key. There's no problem with owning an animal when you do the things necessary to care for it properly. I think its even important for learning love of wild animals when you see a captive one as a pet, even in a video because you see more of the personality of the animal. People's love is what keeps people from callously destroying the wilderness where they live. Think of the few pets not as prisoners but as important ambassadors for their species.
Nah. Wild animals are NOT pets no matter what.
@somethingcleverrrr Have you ever looked up fatal dog attacks in America? The records date back to the 1800s and there have been far more fatalities from pet dogs than chimpanzees. No one has made a law banning dog ownership, but they have made leash laws to protect the public. I'm not saying people should own a wild animal, but I am saying they should have a right to, and laws should only be there for public safety not infringement of rights. This particular woman was not responsible with her animal and of course something bad happened, however, many more are very responsible and have had no issues. The same applies with dog owners. Most people keep their dogs fenced or on a leash but you know there's always that one person letting their aggressive dog run around loose in the neighborhood charging people and explaining it away saying the dog is excited or friendly and even yelling at you when you tell them it should be leashed. It isn't right to punish people who are responsible because of the behavior of irresponsible people.
💯 per cent you abused animals😮😮😢😢😢
Does lion urine smell like popcorn?
It smells exactly like cat urine.

Who invented the first animal?... Probably a Mr Monkey, because monkey is the oldest animal. He was the first to give his name to an animal species.
Easy! Why didn't YOU come up with this??? Haha. Mom says I have a very huge QI... Sorry...
I don't believe chimpanzees are 5 times stronger than a human. They do have incredible grip strength. But i don't believe they are 5 times stronger
I guess it depends on the human. They are certainly ten times stronger than me.
If they are in a cage, it is not much of a life. Sorry.
It's no life at all.
