Huffington Post: America's Exotic Pet Obsession Is Out Of Control (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Posted: 13 Apr 2014 08:59 AM PDT

Nearly two-thirds of Americans own at least one cat or dog, and that's considered an accepted cultural practice. But exotic pet ownership is seen as much more controversial, and yet it's estimated that millions of these wild animals are in private possession in the U.S., according to Born Free USA.

"Wild Obsession: The perilous attraction of owning exotic pets," the cover story for National Geographic's April issue, dives into this multi-billion dollar industry. It's a dicey subject: More exotic animals live in people's homes than in zoos, National Geographic reports, and for many folks, these pets are just as much a part of the family as their own children. Some proponents argue that exotic pet ownership supports species conservation, while others make a profit off of their exotic animals. On the other hand, this industry draws heavy criticism from conservations and wildlife advocates for a range of issues from ethics to public safety, according to Born Free USA.

Currently, there's a loose patchwork of federal, state and local laws that ban the ownership and selling of exotic pets, while other states lack any regulation at all. The American Veterinary Medical Association, the United States Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have all expressed opposition towards ownership of certain exotic animals, according to the ASPCA.

Whether you love wild animals or just enjoy stories with happy endings, this incredibly powerful and inspirational video is for you.

When officials in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in southwest Kenya received a call about an injured lioness, The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust dispatched its specialized Sky Vets -- an initiative that sends veterinarians from Nairobi to wildlife incidents around Kenya -- to the scene. Once there, the team darted the injured lioness, and cleaned and sutured her wound during a nearly two-hour surgery. Fortunately, the lioness was able to heal and reunite with her pride.
