Also, when animals are stressed ("unhappy") they show it. Reptiles especially will become sick and die if their needs are not met and they're taken care of improperly. All of my pets (dog, cat, fish, tarantulas and reptiles) do not show abnormal behavior, nor are they ill. Just because it makes *you* feel bad to see an animal in a cage or behind a fence doesn't mean the animal is unhappy, it just means that you are. You're projecting your feelings on the animal.

@lovexhater The raccoon thing was to show that just because animal roam for miles in the wild doesn't mean they do it because they like it. They do it because they have to or they will die. It isn't done for enjoyment, which is why the raccoons in my yard stay there as long as they can get an easy meal and shelter.

According to your logic, all dogs, horses, cattle, chickens, rabbits, ferrets, etc. are all miserable because they also have to be contained or they will roam, many not coming back (I see lost dog posters all the time while out jogging and postings on CL for lost pets). If an animal leaves an area, it does not mean it is "unhappy." My toddler nephew is not free to go wherever he wants and would wander around outside and not come back if let out, but he is content at home.

@Fleefles This bill was for non native animals, raccoons are native. This bill could have helped out with the big exotic animal trade happening in the US with animals like Lions and Tigers (we have more here in backyard cages than in the wild). These animals usually roams hundreds of miles in the wild, are dangerous, certainly not pets.
Lets be real here, certain exotic animals should not be pets. If you really think your animals are content with cages, let them out and see if they come back.

@lovexhater Yep. Many animals are perfectly fine in captivity. My pets are not stressed out and are healthy. They are fine being in cages. Just because it hurts *your* feelings to see them in cages doesn't mean they feel miserable or are unhappy. I have a buch of racoons that live in my old shed and come out at night to eat garbage. I should probably tell them they are being wrong and need to travel miles in search of food and shelter and not stay in one area and be content.

I'm glad this didn't pass, now all these animals happily live in their cages for the rest of their lives.

Not my pets



@hadesmanes87 Does the UK parliament not have a period of time when new laws/bills are proposed? MANY MANY bills are proposed and re-proposed thoughout the years, but most (and I mean like 90%) never actually become law.
I'm quite sick of snoddy comments from europeans who don't like America...
