The campaign will also draw attention to the potential spread of zoonotic diseases by this activity, Walker said.īetween 20, 48,793 individual live specimen that were refused clearance by the U.S. households own pets and in 2016, more than 13 percent of households owned an exotic pet, a 25 percent increase from 2011, according to research conducted in 2019 for IFAW by Brooke Tully, a behavior change consultant,Īlthough even legal exotic pets can pose many challenges-taking care of them can often be expensive, time-consuming, and even dangerous-the focus of the AZA campaign is on animals that may be unlawfully removed from their natural habitat or illegally sold for pets. Just as pet ownership in general has grown over the years, so has ownership of exotic pets. “The messaging will be ‘be informed about exotic pets.’” “The messaging will not be, ‘don’t buy an exotic pet,’” said Sara Walker, AZA’s senior advisor on wildlife trafficking. That is why the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, in partnership with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), is launching the Not a Pet campaign this fall. It has become so easy to buy unusual pets online that many would-be owners don’t realize that purchasing one may be harming the animals, conservation efforts, and potentially spreading zoonotic diseases, which, like rabies, COVID-19, and monkeypox, transfer from animal to human.
