It is the abandoned part that is bothering me. From what I've seen and read, rehoming them wouldn't have been hard at all. How many of us are driving distance and would have taken them?

Oddly enough, I was talking with my sister last night about a guy I met back in the mid 90's who got arrested by federal wildlife officers for owning a caiman. Handcuffed and all according to him. It is against the law to own one. Strange part is there wasn't a single law preventing anyone from owning a tiger.

Laws can be strange. So can the exotic pet world.
