EXOTIC ANIMALS NEED YOUR VOICE!
Wild and exotic animals suffer tremendously in captivity. These animals are stolen from the wild, peddled as cheap trinkets, confined to small "habitats," roughly handled, fed improper diets, and forgotten when the novelty wears off. They are doomed from the moment that they are born.
The truth is that very few people who give in to temptation and purchase these animals on a whim as "pets" have the knowledge required to meet the animals' specialized husbandry needs or the inclination to commit to the years-long responsibility of caring for them.
Amazon wrote in "Amazon and Our Planet":
"....At Amazon, we believe that innovation has the power to change the world. As we strive to become Earth's most customer-centric company, we constantly look for new ways to innovate on behalf of our different customers: individuals who shop our global websites, merchants who sell on our platform, developers who use our infrastructure to create their businesses, and creators of the books, music, and films we sell through our websites. We believe that our greatest contribution to the good of society comes directly from these core business activities. .....
...At Amazon, we're constantly looking for ways to further reduce our environmental impact."
Please ask Amazon.co.uk to stop selling live animals!!! I was horrified to learn that Amazon.co.uk sells Exotic animals.

Please do the right thing and adopt a policy that prohibits the sale and display of live animals in your stores.
Please, work quickly to enact strong and sensible regulation to protect exotic animals.
