oh yeah i heard about that one.
Im on the fence about this issue. Im all for keeping exotic pets but HUGE CATS? lions? bears? elephants?
I think those animals need to be left alone to roam free. not fenced in some concrete prison.

I might catch it on DVD, Netflix or something later on. But the owner of Exotic Pets where I got Dino and Korben from is in the preview.

From what I've heard about it, it sounds like it's highly slanted. They talk about exotic animal attacks (reptiles included in that) and make it sound like this huge huge thing, when the statistics for dog bites are MUCH higher. This film has an agenda, and that agenda is the same agenda that we have been fighting against: to ban reptiles, and other "exotic" animals.

AGREED!
from the mouth of Mark Romansky:
"Ok, here we go. THE ELEPHANT IN THE LIVING ROOM. More animal rights propaganda. Do not go and support this movie. Your right to own a pet in this country is in jeopardy. If someone wants to keep an unusual pet, it is their right. Smoking kills more people than anything else on earth, yet you have the right to smoke. I should have the right to have my pets."
