Thank you for visiting our Fun and Games section.
Exotic cats and bears are the ones who suffer in the long run when people
make the mistake of thinking they can turn them into pets. People
often buy cute cuddly little cubs without any cue of what they are getting
into. Some people believe if they never feed the fresh red meat they
will grow up tame. That is simply not true. All that does is
cause the animal to have digestive problems, calcium deficiencies which
cause serious problems with their bones, and more problems that you
can imagine. They house them in cages so small the animal can't run,
jump and play. This too cause their bones to not grow correctly and to be
weak. Once the animal is grown and becomes mature they are simply not
bonded to the person who raised them anymore than they would be to their
mother in the wild. When they grow up they move on leaving their mother
behind. Wild animals simply are not the same as domesticated animals.
YOU cannot change that no matter how you raise a cub.
