I understand-I had read that post before I even posted, and thought your post nailed the essence of it. The man is a professional, and it wasn’t possible for him, of all people.
That said, I feel the same way about people who keep pit bulls as I do about people who keep wolf breeds.
Just because they can be kept relatively safely under some rigorous conditions doesn’t mean they should be.
Simply because the VAST majority of people cannot be trusted to ensure those “rigorous conditions”.
Wolves....SMH.
Yeah, I’ve always thought owning exotic animals isn’t a good idea.
Back in the 80s we used to live next to a guy that had a chimpanzee.
He had to hide his car keys from her because she was strong enough to twist the keys like a paper clip.
Next door to him was a 7-11 convenience store. He was gone one day and the chimp got loose, made it’s way into the 7-11 and proceeded to tear it apart.
When he got home the police were there and just about to shoot it but he convinced the cops he could control her.....and DID.
After that he decided he’d move in with a lady at the beach that also had a chimp......I discovered then that people that own chimpanzees is actually a bit of a subculture. Who knew? 🤷
The house was directly on Ponte Vedra Beach and had an indoor outdoor enclosure for the primates.
Big signs warning people that might walk up off the beach to keep their distance and never touch the cage......sure enough two kids walked up, ignored the signs and one kid got close enough that one of the chimps was able to grab his hand and completly bite off one of his fingers.
True story......every word. ✋️
