The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

It's a weirder nightmare industry. Either there's horrid breeding or the animals are abducted from the wild.

The only silver lining that I see is that the trappers might die in the process, and the breeders and pet masters might get a cool new disease. The history of this "exotic pet" shit is just a great example of colonialism and bourgeois/aristocrat class virtues.
