Hi I am JulFire or DayFire, I live in the mountains of Colorado and I, here in the Rocky Mountains are having a crocodile, alligator, and caiman baby problems. This store here is selling little a crocodile, alligator, and caiman babies, and this is just a ordinary I am afraid that the people, that are just about eighteen thru twenty one years of age at the youngest, are miss treating them my dad thinks that I should not worry so much but I have never seen them even interact with them or even by kind and very little evidence is shone that they have been fed them at all and here in the mountains we don’t exactly have a crocodile, alligator, and or caiman rescue center and here there is one or two a crocodile, alligator, and or caiman care giver but I bet that the most room they have is just enough for probably one or, if lucky, two. I need some help for this. And I can’t stand to just sit by any more. I am also afraid that the owners of the reptiles will get hurt if they are careless and just bought the reptile for his/her looks or rareness in Colorado, if you will. Help me please. Do you have any advice? Oh and I don’t live that close to a city like Denver. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi Julfire, Thanks for posting on my Farm Animal topic. Your generation is the future of this planet. I am glad that you are so compassionate and aware. What I would do about the reptiles is first check to see if selling these animals is even legal in your state. Many states have laws against selling exotic animals. It is a shame that pet stores sell these exotic animals. Most people who buy them have no idea how to care for them properly. Wild animals should remain in the wild where they belong. You could also contact a local SPCA or animal rights group. Just don't give up trying to help the animals. You can and do make a difference. We have to be the voice for those who can't speak for themselves. Together, we can change the world. Thank You. Tumeria
Hi Julfire, First of all, I completely agree with tumeria33, try everything that she said, and another thing that you can try to do is contact any croc rescues that are in coastal states like Florida or Louisiana. These rescues could probably transport these crocs that are most likely being sold illegal to one of the many protected wildlife/croc parks in Florida or Louisiana. Good Luck.
