  • Join us on this exciting marathon where we dive deep into different Predator Pets. Exotic animals that have to live their lives outside of their natural habitat and more
    What do you think of the size of Marc's animals cages? Are they too small, or just the right size?

    00:00:00 - Episode 4: On the outskirts of a rural Nevada town, Scott and Zuzana live behind 10-foot chain fences; not to protect themselves from intruders, but to protect intruders from their surprising pets. Dave and his dog Alice have an incredible bond, but Alice is no ordinary dog; she’s a dingo, Australia’s largest apex predator. Join us in Ken Foose’s Exotic Pets Store, Las Vegas, where you can find everything from ferrets and hedgehogs, through to snakes, giant spiders, scorpions and venomous lizards.
    00:00:00 - Episode 5: Who knew that one incident in small town Zanesville Ohio, would lead an unpredicted legal change in surrounding states in the US. One man’s drastic action to set loose his vast collection of exotic animals opened up a chaotic animal massacre that made global headlines over night. After exploring the tragedy of Zanesville, this episode of Predator Pets travels to Las Vegas to get up close and personal with the Monkey Whisperer Lisa Whitaker and her long time capuchin companion Mugwhy. We then adventure on to the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park to visit Joe, the exotic animal conservationist and country musician. This episode takes you on a rollercoaster ride showcasing very different exotic animal owners.
    00:00:00 - Episode 6: This week’s Predator Pets deals with some of the most ferocious predators on the planet. Wolves may be the ancestors of our most beloved house pet, the dog, but they’re far from being an animal you can cuddle up with on the couch. The circus is now a controversial environment for exotic animals, but Australia’s longest running family circus know that the Lion Tamer is still guaranteed to draw gasps from the crowd. In the 1980s, Randy Miller was known as an animal stuntman with a unique talent and a unique connection to some very special animals. Since 2008 he’s better known as the owner of Rocky, the 400-pound bear who killed his cousin during a photoshoot.
    Predator Pets - Alligators, snakes, wolves, bears, and more, these deadly pets offer an adrenaline-pumping experience you just don’t get with a poodle. Have some pet owners crossed a line by keeping these wild animals in their homes? Predators Pets investigates extreme pets and the danger-factor that their owners see as a positive rather than a problem.

      The Zanesville deal was sad from start to the bloody finish. People knew he was mentally and emotionally unstable. Noone did a thing. Experts told law enforcement how to handle the loose animals and these Experts were ignored. The sad thing is some of the animals were headed back to their enclosures as they knew they would be fed. Law enforcement killed them anyway. This was a sad example as why people should not keep wild animals. Sanctuaries are here for a reason. It did change the law in Ohio, however!

      Thats basically everyone that owns an animal. They care about themselves and their feelings. Not the animal. If people truley cared about animals we would let them live their true lives and stop tearing down all of their habitats. Even people that own dogs or cats treat them the way they want to treat them. Not the way the animals want to be treated. Then they claim feeding them man made food and giving them a man made house makes up for it. Then when dogs or cats dont respect their human rules they get rid of them. Even the people that keep them expect them to follow rediculous rules all day and dont let them live anything close to the life they want. Just because they happy when you give them treats and pet them or give them attention doesnt mean they have a great life. They need way more than that. Just like the animals and reptiles in this video do.

      I’m not gonna agree with this bc if I’m honest I don’t agree with what ur saying but some wild animals have to be in captivity because they can’t fend for themselves, have injuries, have come in contact with humans and can’t hunt for food themselves so they have to be kept in zoos or in captivity for their own lives and for their safety.

    I really appreciate the Trainer at the end. The truth is ANY animal can be dangerous: Wild or Domesticated. I personally don't believe 'Wild' animals should be kept as PETS. I also don't believe everyone should own a dog or a cat. I think you have to be careful of knowing the breed of animal you have so you can properly care for it, the animal should be trained but it's HUMAN should also be TRAINED. Wild captive animals should be left to the _Establishments_ qualified to care for such animals.
    And I believe some places have had luck RE-TRAINING wild animals in order to release them into (or back into) the 'Wild' where I feel they mostly belong; however, I understand that animals who have been 'de-clawed' or otherwise ALTERED would not survive in the Wild and must therefore be held captive... JUST DON'T MISTREAT THEM!

      ​​@@HoneySparkles2 Yep, that tiger owner in New York didn't like people, so he had tigers, and oops, those grow to adult size, and then there is a serious problem. Besides, do you have any idea how much meat young tigers eat? You really need to spend an awesome amount of money on food, and a tiger vet has higher bills than a cat vet, even for simple vaccinations, so, forget raising a sweet young tiger yourself, you need to be a lot richer than you'd expect. Or you end up with an ill or dying tiger, which is very very sad. Be wiser, say no.
      Seen the New York video, suppose you are a police officer, scared to death when realising there REALLY is a tiger inside. Laws is one thing, seizing somebodies tiger alive and without any accidents, that is not exactly easy.

    I'm alreday enraged with the first dude with the alligator! He is the "so called" reptile expert, however I see an alligator kept under absolute unethical circumstances! Alligators can swim up to 20 miles per day if they have too, I understand that this isn't always necessary and it does greatly depend on some factors such as availability of food, temperature and even the species of the alligator etc. His alligator lives in a tank which is around 3 feet long, 32 inches wide and probably around the same depth!? These circumstances alone would make a young alligator go aggressive. How can you responsibly think that this is a good idea, particularly if you call yourself a reptile expert?!

      It’s kind of funny how he claims that other people shouldn’t keep exotics. He seems to preach a very reasonable logical message that people can get behind but in practice he’s doing something completely different, and when I saw the cage that he had that gator in, I thought it was fucking laughable, you know as somebody who lives where gators do in the wild that wouldn’t be sufficient for even a small lizard much less an adolescent gator I mean seriously dude you can’t possibly think that that is an adequate enclosure for it. No wonder she’s stressed and agitated I mean, that’s the least natural habitat. I know it’s difficult to duplicate a natural habitat in captivity completely, but you could certainly do a better job than that and if you can’t, then you shouldn’t have one and that I don’t think people should have exotic animals I just don’t think there’s any reason for it. It’s like these people are inadequate and powerless and every other aspect of their lives so they hoard animals I mean it’s definitely a mental illness it’s a form of hoarding it’s not always stuff sometimes it’s animals. Sometimes it’s both a lot of times it’s both and these animals just don’t belong in captivity no matter what story they preach no matter what good justification they try to use for it there just isn’t one there isn’t one and these people are powerless inadequate, they have nothing so they get behind these exotic animals because it gets them the attention, the notoriety and the feeling of mastery and recognition and feeling special that they could never get any other way. Do you know if they’re like the weakest links and this is their way of overcompensating

    Don't Alpha Wolves do that though because the PACK is usually exclusively made up of their own pups, siblings and sometimes even parents? Isn't that a way of keeping the line strong since the Alpha Female is typically the only one coming from OUTSIDE of an _emerging_ pack? Otherwise there would be a lot of 'Inbreeding'.

    • @partickthompson1164
      @partickthompson1164 ปีที่แล้ว

      The alpha wolf theory has been proven to be wrong. Wolves packs are led by the parents for the most part. Also the pack is open that means out side males and females can join and leave at will. There isn't any alpha wolf or beta wolf. Just mom, dad aunts , uncles and the pups. The original study was made by David Mac. In the 1970s. He has since retracted his study.

    For the story about all the animals getting loose and the cops killing them, i watched documentaries on that story and its believed that the cops are the ones who let the animals out to begin with. They had been harrassing the owner about his animals for awhile but couldnt do anything about them. (People didnt want him to have them and would complain alot too). Then all of a sudden after police harrassed him for awhile, someone lets all his animals free making it so the cops had to kill them. They also killed the lion and i think a tiger in their cage (probably because they were too afraid to let those ones out but they pretended they were out anyway so they had the excuse to kill them) Im pretty sure this is the same story anyway.
