anyway watch urban rescue ranch and actually listen to what ben christie is saying when he rants about people keeping wild animals as pets
#im so genuine when i say this but bens attitude is right at home with the sanctuary i volunteered at/am still close with#in that caring for wild animals can only be done by certain people#people that can put a suffering animal out of its misery or who can work day and night to make sure every animals needs are met#understanding whats dangerous and whats beneficial and always keeping that checklist in your brain#like for example#our sanctuary houses big cats and madagascar lemurs#those lemurs having evolved on an island separate from big cats and their waste#they are extremely susceptible to toxoplasmosis#so we as staff have to make sure that any shoes we wear in a cats enclosure to clean it#either 1) gets thoroughly bleached before entering the lemur enclosure or 2) are replaced by shoes that never entered a cat enclosure#that and so many other little things regarding health and safety of the animals are burned in my brain#because of how important it is#and yes that sanctuary also received so many big cats that were once pets#so theyre so reliant on humans they can not ever return to the wild#they dont know how to hunt or are disabled to due less than substantial diet/exercise/etc#because normal people. dont know. how to take care of. a wild fucking animal.#and thankfully we specialize with aging and disabled cats#and the cats that arrive there almost always die there naturally#were not a midway point every animal is a resident and is cared for equally until the natural end of their life#anyway tldr#if you own a pet monkey i will eat you.
