Mr.Obama, what does your country do about this form of animal abuse???

[lisa33476]

What is wrong with your Country?? do you actually have ANY laws to protect animals?? do you HAVE any respect for them?? America is really a joke to the rest of the world especially when you can just pop down to the auctions and buy yourself a tiger or do you fancy a zebra, camel bobcat or maybe a lion to keep in your yard.

its not america its the barley 1 percent of america doing this... maybe 10 percent...

The international trade of these animals is mostly illigal by international law. All of these animals are bred and born in the USA.

why??these animals are called wild animals because they are supposed to be free and wild!

[Luke Xavier]

Some people are just retarded with posts... Do you guys really think Americans went to other countries...captured animals.. then brought them to OHIO to be sold cheap?? No, other countries sell them to us without care then there are idiots who buy them then re-sell them at this trade. Obama doesn't have to do anything about it. He should be worried about keeping his job.. not protecting abused animals.

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

this is a disgrace!!!!!

That's cruel these beings have a lot of special needs that must be met. The only people who should be allowed to buy these creatures are, people who run zoos & sanctuaries.

awe poor babies look so scared :(

[Gracie Googims]

why did they have to kill the animals? i mean i know that they are dangerous but they could have just paralyzed them for a bit and put them into sanctuaries later. these animals are super rare! gosh humans are sometimes ugh.. :(

Yes Mr. Obama, and every president before and yet to come! Our country never has done anything to prevent things like this from happening. Parrots are not indigenous to the US, but there is a flock of them that fly around our area. It is appalling and disgraceful!! These animals did not deserve this!
