Lions and Tigers and BEARS - Oh, WHY?!?!

Some animals are not meant for a cage....

In the video clip I believe they said the enclosure was 15' x 15', I have never seen a bear enclosure that small before. Not good for the animal at all. Some people just like to own animals because they love them, but are not really able to give the animal(s) the space and care they really need. I don't know if that is the case here or not of course, but I have seen it many times.

Many times these animals become to much for the owner and the animal ends up at a rescue center.

I would also have grave concerns as a neighbor close by some one housing potentially dangerous animals.

Hmmm.....I figured there would be more responses to this thread.

This is a serious problem, I have done volunteer work at rescue / rehab centers, some of the animals are from owners who bit off more than they could chew. Animals are resilient, but they do have memory and emotions.
