Summary

TLDRこのスクリプトは、珍しいペットとして知られる昆虫、特に日本グランドホーネットについて語ります。これらのホーネットは、非常に強い刺と神経系を攻撃する毒を持っており、年間40人の死亡に貢献しています。一方で、東京のソーシャルメディアユーザーは、グランドホーネットを飼いならし、首輪を使って散歩できるほど訓練したと主張しています。しかし、その飼い主は、時々噛みつくがあまり痛まないと述べています。また、文書では、鳥の羽を切ること、カプチンザルの歯を抜くこと、スローローリスの歯を抜くこと、そして猫の爪を抜くことなど、野獣をペットにするために行われる様々な手術とその問題が触れられています。最後に、野獣は適切な世話をされないことが多いため、家で飼うべきではないと結論づけています。

Takeaways

  • 🐜 ジャポニカハチドリは世界で最も激しい虫として知られており、年間40人の死亡に関与しているとされています。
  • 🌟 1匹のジャポニカハチドリの刺撃は、健康な人でも致命的な腎不全を引き起こす可能性があります。
  • 🧵 一人のSNSユーザーは、ハチドリの刺しと毒嚢を除去した後、ハチドリをリードで連れて歩くことができるよう訓練したと主張しています。
  • 🐦 一部の鳥は、飼育場で翼を切ることで、自由に飛ぶことができなくなりますが、これは鳥にとってストレスをかけて変な行動に変貌させる可能性があります。
  • 🦆 飼鳥の喙を短くすることは、飼鳥の傷害や人への危害を減らすために行われることがありますが、これは鳥の感覚を損ねることで深刻な痛みを引き起こす可能性があります。
  • 🦇 スロウローリスは世界で唯一毒を持つ霊長類であり、取引業者によって歯が引き抜かれることが多く、これにより彼らの唯一の自然防御が失われます。
  • 🦁 クメールの当局は、爪と牙を失ったペットライオンを没収しましたが、野生に戻すことはできませんでした。
  • 🐾 猫のデクラウは、骨を除去するプロセスであり、これは関節炎のリスクを高め、猫の生活質量を低下させます。
  • 🐍 有毒なヘビは、飼育場で毒を失う手術を受けることがありますが、これはヘビ自身の幸福を考慮するあまりに行われません。
  • 🕊 一部の鳥は、騒音を減らすために声帯を除去されることがありますが、これは鳥の生命を危険にさらす可能性があります。
  • 🦨 カンガルーラットの匂い袋を除去することは、飼育場で飼われているカンガルーラットにとっては問題ありませんが、野生で襲われた場合に自分を守るための重要な防衛手段を失う可能性があります。
  • 🏡 野生動物は適切なケアができないため、飼い主には適していません。研究によると、過半数の外来動物は幸福のニーズが満たされておらず、不適切な飼育環境や食習慣に苦しんでいます。

Q & A

  • 日本の大虎甲はどのくらいの大きさがありますか?

    -日本の大虎甲は約2インチ(約5センチ)の長さがあります。

  • 日本の大虎甲はどのくらい速く飛べますか?

    -日本の大虎甲は最高速度で25マイル毎時間(約40km/h)のスピードで空を飛ぶことができます。

  • 日本の大虎甲の刺し傷はなぜ危険ですか?

    -日本の大虎甲の刺し傷は神経系を攻撃する毒を持ち、組織を損傷させるため、非常に危険です。アレルギーがある人々に対しては深刻な反応を引き起こし、アレルギーがない人でも十分な量の刺し傷は致命的な腎不全を引き起こす可能性があります。

  • なぜ、野生動物を飼いならすことは避けるべきですか?

    -野生動物は適切な世話をすることは困難であり、自然の殻に収まるべきで、野生動物は飼いならされるべきではありません。彼らはストレスを感じると野生動物としての本能的な行動をとる傾向があります。

  • 飼育主がハチの刺し袋を除去するプロセスはどのようなものですか?

    -ハチの刺し袋を除去するプロセスは、ハチをバタフライネットで捕らえてから、その刺し袋と毒嚢を除去します。その後、昆虫の胸部に細い線を通して、ハチをリードします。

  • ハチの刺し袋を除去した後はどうなりますか?

    -刺し袋を除去した後、ハチは無害になるとされていますが、時々噛みつくことがありますが、それほど痛くないとされています。

  • トリミングといえば、どのような手術が行われますか?

    -トリミングは、鳥の羽をカットすることで、自由に飛ぶことを一時的に防ぐプロセスです。羽は自然と再生するため、その後またトリミングが必要になる場合があります。

  • ハムスターの噛みつきはなぜ問題になる可能性がありますか?

    -ハムスターは時々自分の歯をかじることがあり、それは有害です。また、歯は細菌感染を招く可能性があります。そのため、多くのハムスターの飼い主は事前に歯を除去する選択をします。

  • カプチンサルの歯を除去するもう一つの理由は何ですか?

    -時々カプチンサルは突然飼い主に対して攻撃的になる可能性があり、歯を通すことで痛覚的で不快な咬傷を与える可能性があります。また、サルはラビースやヒーパチスBなどの深刻な疾病を持ちうるため、歯を除去することで人々の安全を確保するという考え方があります。

  • ハムスターの噛みつきが問題になる状況として何がありますか?

    -ハムスターは時々自分の歯を噛み、それは有害である可能性があります。また、歯は細菌感染を引き起こす原因になる可能性があります。

  • 野生動物を飼いならすとき、何が求められますか?

    -野生動物を飼いならすとき、適切なケア、適切な飼育環境、そして適切な飼育方法が必要です。野生動物は自然で生きるべきであり、彼らが持つべき本能や必要とするケアを理解し、提供することが重要です。

🐜 異常なペットとしての日本大虎甲蜂

日本から来た男性が、世界で最も激しい昆虫である日本大虎甲蜂を飼い主と名乗ります。これらの昆虫は長さ2インチ、25マイルの速度で空を飛び、非常に強力な刺で知られています。日本の夏には、これらのハチワサミによって年間約40人の死亡が報告されています。彼らの堅牢で激しい性質から、これらのハチワサミは日本の2番目に危険な動物です。しかし、東京のソーシャルメディアユーザーは、ハチワサミを訓練し、リードで連れて行くことができると主張しています。飼い主は、バタフライネットでハチワサミを捕まえ、その刺と毒嚢を除去した後、昆虫の胸部に細いスレッドを付け、無害なハチワサミが従うようになったと説明しています。しかし、一部の人々は、多くの写真に登場するハチワサミが実際には死んでいる可能性があると疑い、激しい生き物が刺を失くした後でも落ち着いているとは思えないと指摘しています。

🦁 野生動物のペット化とその問題

この段落では、異色のペットとして飼われることで野生動物が直面する問題が説明されています。スロウローリスやカプチンモンキーなどの動物の歯を抜くなど、動物が自然の防御手段を失い、野生動物のペットとして不適切な扱いを受けることについて触れられています。また、爪を抜かれたライオンや、鋭い牙を持つ犬種、毒蛇の歯を抜かれるなどの例も挙げられており、これらの手術は動物にとって多大なストレスと痛みを意味します。さらに、野生動物をペットとして飼うことは、適切なケアができないため問題が多く、英国獣医協会の研究によると、過半数の異色のペットには満たされていない福祉ニーズがあるとされています。

10:02

🐦 野生動物の飼育と適切なケア

最後の段落では、野生動物をペットとして飼うことの難しさと、適切なケアができないことのリスクが強調されています。野生動物は自然の擬態の中でしか生きることができず、家の中で飼われるとストレス反応が大きくなります。数千年間、家畜として繁殖された動物は人間に適応し、平和的に共存できるように意図的に繁殖されていますが、野生動物はそのような道をたどっておらず、ストレス下では野生動物としての本能的な行動をとります。また、フロリダ州では爬虫類の飼育者に対してマイクロチップの埋入が義務付けられ、これはペットが失われた場合の責任ある所有権を促進するとともに、潜在的な利益を提供する可能性があります。

Keywords

💡日本大虎甲

日本大虎甲是一种长度约2英寸,飞行速度可达每小时25英里的昆虫。它们以其强大的刺和攻击性而闻名,每年夏天在日本造成约40人死亡。在视频中,一位日本男子声称已经成功训练了这种昆虫作为宠物,展示了即使在去除了刺和毒囊之后,这种昆虫仍然保留了一定的攻击性。

💡自主切除手术

自主切除手术是指出于非医疗原因对动物进行的侵入性手术,如剪翼、阉割等。视频中提到了对鸟类进行的剪翼手术,这是一种常见的做法,通过剪掉羽毛来限制它们的飞行能力,尽管这种做法可能会给鸟类带来压力和行为变化。

💡喙修剪

喙修剪是一种对鸟类进行的手术,目的是防止它们相互啄食或拔毛,可能会导致伤害、同类相残甚至死亡。然而,这种手术常常在没有麻醉的情况下进行,可能会导致鸟类承受压力和疼痛。视频中提到,尽管有些人认为修剪喙部可以使鸟类更适合作为宠物,但这种做法在许多国家是非法的。

💡慢 lorises

慢 lorises 是世界上最唯一有毒的灵长类动物,它们的咬伤可能会非常痛苦。视频中提到,由于它们的可爱外表和大眼睛,慢 lorises 在异宠和旅游行业中非常受欢迎。然而,非法动物交易者常常拔掉或剪掉它们的牙齿,这是一种非常痛苦的程序,这样做剥夺了它们唯一的天然防御手段。

💡去爪

去爪是一种对猫科动物进行的手术,涉及移除每个脚趾关节处的最后一块骨头。这种手术会导致猫将体重转移到不适合承受这种压力的骨骼和肌肉上,从而增加了患关节炎的风险。视频中提到,去爪不仅对动物残忍,而且会影响它们的正常生活,因为它们无法用爪子进行自我防御。

💡毒蛇去毒

毒蛇去毒是指对有毒蛇类进行手术,使其失去有毒的咬伤能力。这通常涉及移除毒腺或切断毒腺与毒牙之间的联系。视频中提到,尽管这种手术可以确保人们的安全,但对蛇本身的影响却没有得到足够的考虑,而且在某些国家进行这样的手术可能是违法的。

💡断声手术

断声手术是一种对鸟类进行的复杂且风险高的手术,目的是移除它们的声音。由于鸟类缺乏声带,它们通过胸部内精细的肌肉运动和空气振动来发声,因此要移除鸟的声音而不危及其生命几乎是不可能的。视频中提到,尽管这种手术存活率很低,但仍然有主人因为想要减少鸟类的噪音而选择进行。

💡去臭腺

去臭腺是指对家养臭鼬进行的手术,移除它们的臭腺以确保它们不会给主人带来不适。视频中提到,虽然这种做法可以减少宠物的异味,但也引发了关于是否剥夺了臭鼬自我防御工具的争议。如果臭鼬在外面遇到攻击,没有臭腺的它们将无法保护自己。

💡异宠

异宠是指那些非传统的宠物,如蛇、蜥蜴、猴子等野生动物。视频中强调,由于人们常常无法为这些动物提供适当的护理,它们通常会遭受痛苦、受伤和疾病。此外,英国兽医协会的研究表明,超过一半的异宠存在未得到满足的福利需求。

💡微芯片

微芯片是一种小型的电子设备,可以植入动物体内,用于识别和追踪。视频中提到,佛罗里达州的爬行动物饲养者被要求对他们的动物进行微芯片植入,类似于全球范围内对狗和猫的普遍做法。尽管微芯片对爬行动物没有伤害,但视频中仍然认为,考虑到它们的野生本性,我们不应该将蜥蜴等动物作为宠物。

💡家畜

家畜是指经过人类驯化并饲养的动物,如狗、猫和牛。与它们的野生同类相比,家畜拥有更为平和的压力反应系统,因此不太可能因为紧张而伤害人类。视频中提到,经过数千年的驯化,家畜已经被特意培育成能够和人类和谐相处的动物,而野生动物则保留了它们的野性本能,即使在人类环境中长大,也会在压力下表现出野性行为。

Highlights

A man in Japan has chosen the deadly Japanese giant hornet, the most aggressive insect in the world, as his pet

These hornets measure 2 inches in length and can fly at speeds of up to 25 mph

Their stings target the nervous system and can cause fatal kidney failure in some cases

The high mortality rate makes them the second deadliest animal in Japan

The owner claims he has trained the hornet by removing its stinger and venom sacks

Some people believe the hornet in the photos is actually dead, not a trained pet

Removal of a stinger in animals is a discretionary invasive procedure, similar to pet surgeries like neutering

Wing clipping in birds involves trimming feathers, not bones, to temporarily prevent flight

Beak trimming in birds aims to prevent pecking and feather pulling, but can cause stress and pain

Slow lorises, the only venomous primates, often have their teeth removed, leaving them defenseless

Teeth removal in capuchin monkeys is done to prevent biting, infection and disease transmission

A pet lion in Cambodia was found declawed and defanged, unable to live a normal life

Declawing cats involves removing the last bone of each toe, leading to arthritis and other health issues

Venomoid snakes are venomous snakes that have undergone surgery to remove their venom glands or fangs

Joint removal in a bird's wing stops feather growth and prevents flight, similar to severing a hand at the wrist

Devoicing birds involves a complex procedure that can lead to infections and death for up to 80% of roosters

Scent glands are surgically removed from pet skunks to prevent odor, but it may remove their self-defense mechanism

Over half of exotic pets have unmet welfare needs, and 90% are kept in unsuitable living conditions

Wild animals should remain in the wild and not be kept as pets, as they cannot be properly cared for

Domesticated animals like dogs and cats have a calmer stress response system compared to their wild counterparts

play00:01

when people think of unusual pets they

play00:04

typically picture reptiles or exotic

play00:06

animals but not insects however a man

play00:09

from Japan claims to have chosen the

play00:10

most aggressive insect in the world as

play00:12

his pet the deadly Japanese giant hornet

play00:17

these formidable creatures measure about

play00:18

2 in in length and zip through the air

play00:21

at speeds of up to 25 mph they're

play00:24

notorious for their really strong

play00:25

Stingers in Japan each summer these

play00:28

Hornets kill around 40 people

play00:30

that's because Hefty and aggressive

play00:32

insects sport 2in Stingers with these

play00:35

impressive Stingers they deliver Venom

play00:37

that targets the nervous system and

play00:38

damages the victim's tissues their

play00:40

stings can trigger severe reactions in

play00:43

people who are allergic to the Venom and

play00:45

in those who aren't allergic a

play00:46

sufficient dose can even lead to fatal

play00:49

kidney failure in other words a few

play00:51

stings from these Japanese giant hornets

play00:53

can be lethal even if you're perfectly

play00:56

healthy the high mortality rate makes

play00:59

these Hornets the second deadliest

play01:00

animal in Japan who got the top spot

play01:05

people you realize how serious this is

play01:07

right nevertheless a social media user

play01:10

in Tokyo claims to have successfully

play01:12

trained a hornet to the point where he

play01:14

can now take it out for a walkie in a

play01:16

harness the man explains that he caught

play01:18

the Hornet using a butterfly net and

play01:20

then used twizz to remove its stinger

play01:22

and poison sacks even at this stage you

play01:26

might be thinking what he then attached

play01:29

a thin Le thread to the insect's thorax

play01:32

and now the harmless Hornet follows him

play01:34

around well when I say harmless the

play01:37

owner mentions that sometimes the pet

play01:39

bites but it's not very painful

play01:42

nevertheless there are people who think

play01:43

that this might be a prank suggesting

play01:45

that the Hornet seen in the many photos

play01:47

is actually dead they have a point since

play01:50

a fierce creature like this wouldn't

play01:51

just chill out after losing its stinger

play01:54

removing a stinger is called a

play01:56

discretionary invasive procedure which

play01:58

falls under the same category is common

play02:00

pet surgery such as cropping and

play02:03

neutering you've probably heard about

play02:05

the process of wing clipping for birds

play02:07

in captivity it involves clipping their

play02:09

feathers not their bones which

play02:11

temporarily prevents them from flying

play02:13

freely the feathers naturally regrow

play02:15

after molting and then the birds may

play02:18

require another clipping this procedure

play02:20

is commonly carried out by vets breeders

play02:23

and people who own Birds it involves the

play02:26

practice of trimming the wings of pet

play02:28

birds including chickens and certain

play02:30

parrot species regardless of the

play02:32

technique used they can all have adverse

play02:34

effects on the birds including the risk

play02:36

of falling increase stress and changes

play02:39

in Behavior think of it like suddenly

play02:42

taking away a person's ability to walk

play02:44

properly nobody would enjoy that

play02:48

right when the birds with clipped Wings

play02:50

go through molting their new feathers

play02:52

known as blood feathers can become

play02:54

exposed these special feathers are

play02:56

different from regular ones because they

play02:58

have a blood circulation

play03:00

if you accidentally damage one of these

play03:02

blood feathers during clipping it's

play03:04

likely to bleed a lot while some people

play03:07

think that trimming a bird's wings can

play03:09

help avoid indoor accidents like getting

play03:11

tangled in ceiling fans or hitting

play03:12

windows many vets remain opposed to this

play03:15

practice another procedure that birds

play03:17

undergo is beak trimming it's often

play03:20

carried out in places like zoos and

play03:22

rehab centers this practice aims to

play03:24

prevent birds from pecking each other or

play03:26

pulling out feathers which can lead to

play03:28

injuries cannibalism

play03:30

or even death shortening the beak is

play03:32

seen as a safer alternative however

play03:35

there are irresponsible people who trim

play03:37

wild birds beaks to make them more

play03:39

suitable as pets it's essential to note

play03:42

that beak trimming is often carried out

play03:43

without anesthesia which can lead to

play03:46

stress and both immediate and chronic

play03:48

pain in Birds when the sensory receptors

play03:50

in a bird's beak are damaged it can

play03:52

result in a loss of sensation and

play03:54

difficulties in using their beaks for

play03:56

basic tasks affecting their eating and

play03:59

other everyday activities Birds may also

play04:01

develop nerve tumors known as neuromas

play04:04

after beak trimming again causing

play04:06

chronic pain beak trimming is a common

play04:09

procedure in the poultry industry often

play04:11

carried out on laying hens and turkeys

play04:14

and occasionally on Quail and Ducks

play04:16

typically the bird's beaks are

play04:18

permanently shortened when they're quite

play04:20

young the primary goal is to minimize

play04:22

the risk of the birds causing harm to

play04:24

one another or humans it's important to

play04:26

note that despite its apparent rationale

play04:29

this practice is illegal in numerous

play04:32

countries when it comes to slow lorises

play04:34

things are quite different people often

play04:37

take out their teeth thinking it'll make

play04:39

them more docel spoiler alert it doesn't

play04:42

work slow lorises are a hot commodity in

play04:45

the exotic pet and tourist industry

play04:46

because of their adorable looks and big

play04:49

eyes this demand is not limited to their

play04:51

native lands but spreads to far away

play04:53

countries as well what's surprising is

play04:56

that despite their cuteness slow lorises

play04:58

are the only only venomous primates in

play05:00

the world so their bites can be quite

play05:03

painful thankfully slow lorises don't

play05:06

use Venom like snakes do they have venom

play05:09

glands in the crooks of their arms and

play05:10

when they feel threatened they lick

play05:12

these glands to put Venom on their teeth

play05:14

sadly exotic animal Traders often pull

play05:16

out or clip the teeth of slow lorises a

play05:19

very painful procedure that's done

play05:21

without anesthesia this strips these

play05:23

animals of their sole natural defense

play05:25

leaving them defenseless like Teddy

play05:28

Bears this is what toothless low lorises

play05:30

look like if you're unaware of the

play05:32

hardships these poor creatures have

play05:33

endured you might find it adorable but

play05:36

personally these pictures give me the

play05:38

creeps people often remove the teeth of

play05:40

slow lorises which are bred as pets for

play05:43

humans this is especially common when

play05:45

these lorises are used as illegal props

play05:47

in photography ensuring that the animals

play05:49

won't cause any discomfort to customers

play05:51

paying for selfies with them what makes

play05:53

it worse is that the painful tooth

play05:55

removal procedure often leads to

play05:57

significant blood loss infection and

play06:00

tragically death for the lorises

play06:02

toothless animals that manage to survive

play06:04

can no longer go back to the Wild and

play06:06

find food on their

play06:09

own but it's not only the slow lorises

play06:12

that suffer because people get rid of

play06:14

their teeth removing the teeth of

play06:15

capuchin monkeys is a common practice

play06:18

among owners this is usually done for a

play06:20

few reasons firstly it's because these

play06:22

monkeys might end up nibbling on their

play06:23

own teeth which can be

play06:26

harmful additionally their teeth can

play06:28

lead to bacterial infection so most

play06:30

Capuchin owners opt to have them removed

play06:32

in advance but there's another reason

play06:34

for this procedure as well sometimes

play06:36

capuchin monkeys can suddenly turn

play06:38

aggressive towards their owners and bite

play06:40

them even if they acted normally before

play06:43

these bites are painful and can be quite

play06:45

unpleasant to add to the concern monkeys

play06:47

can carry some serious diseases like

play06:50

rabies and hepatitis B so by removing

play06:53

their teeth people are essentially

play06:54

making their lives safer the question

play06:57

that remains is why people choose to

play06:59

keep a a wild animal as a pet especially

play07:01

when it requires such

play07:04

sacrifice animals are always the ones

play07:06

who suffer in such scenarios the

play07:08

Cambodian authorities seized a pet lion

play07:10

without teeth and Claws weighing 154 lbs

play07:13

that was featured in a Tik Tok video

play07:15

this animal had been unlawfully kept in

play07:17

a residence in the capital city of

play07:19

Phenom pen after being imported by a

play07:21

Chinese National for domestic raising

play07:24

upon closer inspection it became evident

play07:26

that the lion was declawed and defanged

play07:28

apparently for reasons naturally a lion

play07:31

lacking these essential features

play07:33

couldn't lead a normal and happy life

play07:35

this particular lion got lucky as it was

play07:37

confiscated and relocated to the

play07:39

wildlife rescue center unfortunately

play07:41

sending it back to the wild is not an

play07:43

option and even in a zoo or reserve it

play07:46

would face challenges due to its lack of

play07:48

fangs and Claws for self-defense against

play07:50

other Lions however the issue of

play07:52

removing claws extends Beyond cruelty

play07:55

affecting all felines in general

play07:57

declawing process involves removing the

play07:59

the last bone at the knuckle of each

play08:00

finger cats mostly walk on their toes so

play08:04

removing a toe forces them to shift

play08:06

their weight onto the bones and muscles

play08:08

not naturally suited for the purpose

play08:10

this leads to a higher risk of arthritis

play08:12

as they strain their paws when it comes

play08:14

to K9 teeth there's not much to explain

play08:17

oh one thing if the fangs aren't removed

play08:19

they might get dull which isn't great

play08:21

either the teeth can wear out and even

play08:23

start to Decay leading to all sorts of

play08:26

problems snakes also haven't been SP

play08:29

from becoming convenient pets there's

play08:31

even a specific term for it venomoid

play08:34

which refers to a venomous snake that's

play08:36

undergone surgery to lose its venomous

play08:38

bite this procedure is done for snakes

play08:40

kept as pets or used in public shows to

play08:43

ensure people's safety unfortunately not

play08:45

much thought is given to the snakes

play08:49

[Music]

play08:51

themselves the process involves removing

play08:53

Venom glands or fangs though removing

play08:56

the fangs is less common since snakes

play08:58

can regrow their teeth

play08:59

it's crucial to note that you can't

play09:01

entirely take out the bone from which

play09:03

these teeth grow as it would be fatal

play09:04

for the snake so most of the procedure

play09:07

involves either removing the venomous

play09:08

gland or sing the connection between the

play09:10

gland and the Fang in simple terms the

play09:13

goal is to stop the Venom from reaching

play09:15

the point where the snake can bite you

play09:17

however it's important to note that in

play09:19

some countries performing such

play09:20

procedures may be against the law and it

play09:23

doesn't change the status of a venomous

play09:25

snake in the eyes of the

play09:26

law by the way remember what I said

play09:29

about clipping the wings and how it

play09:31

doesn't affect the bones well here's

play09:33

something worse people sometimes

play09:35

surgically remove a joint in a bird's

play09:37

Wing that's farthest from its body they

play09:40

do this for the same reason and it's a

play09:42

practice commonly performed on waterfoul

play09:44

domestic birds and believe it or not

play09:47

parrots taking out a bird's joint puts a

play09:50

stop to feather growth leaving it unable

play09:51

to generate the thrust required for

play09:53

flight almost like severing a human hand

play09:56

at the wrist yeah it's this nasty

play10:00

take a look the right wing of this bird

play10:02

underwent surgery while the left one

play10:04

didn't however this alone prevents it

play10:06

from flying due to the disrupted balance

play10:09

it's widely recognized that besides

play10:10

stopping the birds from flying if done

play10:12

correctly at an early age the procedure

play10:14

doesn't have any lasting negative

play10:16

impacts however there's a growing debate

play10:19

about how it affects animal well-being

play10:21

for instance we now know that the

play10:23

procedure can be very painful and birds

play10:26

don't receive any anesthesia there's

play10:28

also evidence that this practice can

play10:30

lead to a phantom limb sensation much

play10:33

like what some people experience after

play10:35

amputation although in many countries

play10:37

there are strict rules against it only

play10:39

trained experts can perform it or it's

play10:41

only allowed when the birds are very

play10:43

young what truly surprised me was the

play10:46

fact that some people Rob the birds of

play10:48

their voice that's absurd well sometimes

play10:52

being visually striking is all people

play10:54

want from these birds their loud calls

play10:56

and singing can be seen as annoying by

play10:58

their owners leading them to consider a

play11:00

special procedure this procedure known

play11:02

as devoicing is quite complex and risky

play11:05

unlike mammals birds lack vocal cords

play11:08

and they create sounds through delicate

play11:09

movements and air vibrations in their

play11:11

chests as a result taking away a bird's

play11:14

Voice without endangering its life is

play11:16

nearly

play11:17

impossible however it's not just exotic

play11:20

pet Enthusiast suop for this procedure

play11:22

it's also done on roosters regrettably

play11:25

there's an unsettling statistic here

play11:27

between 70 and 80% of roosters subjected

play11:30

to this operation don't survive they

play11:32

usually fall victim to secondary

play11:34

infections or Airway blockage caused by

play11:37

swelling only a small fraction

play11:39

approximately 20 to 30% manage to pull

play11:42

through but why does it continue the

play11:45

explanation is quite simple most owners

play11:47

aren't informed about the risks but

play11:49

they're promised that their birds will

play11:51

be less

play11:52

noisy with all this in mind removing

play11:54

skunk's scent gland seems much less

play11:57

crazy in the case of pet skunks bred in

play11:59

captivity these glands are surgically

play12:02

taken out to ensure they don't cause any

play12:03

discomfort to their owners this

play12:05

procedure stir up some debate as some

play12:08

people worry that it robs the pet skunk

play12:10

of an essential self-defense tool even

play12:12

though there might not be any threats

play12:14

around the house if the skunk happens to

play12:16

venture outside and faces an attack it

play12:18

won't have its glands to protect itself

play12:21

out in the wild a skunk like that

play12:22

wouldn't stand a chance and it could end

play12:24

up there anytime the struggles of pet

play12:27

ownership

play12:29

wild animals must stay in the wild they

play12:31

can't become pets primarily because

play12:33

people often can't offer them the proper

play12:35

care they require according to research

play12:38

by the British Veterinary Association

play12:39

over half of exotic pets have unmet

play12:42

welfare needs additionally nine out of

play12:44

10 vets highlighted unsuitable living

play12:47

conditions and 85% pointed out

play12:49

inappropriate dietary practices perhaps

play12:52

most worrisome is that 62% of these vets

play12:54

reported that these animals frequently

play12:56

endure pain injuries and illness illness

play12:59

due to a lack of adequate care and we're

play13:02

not even talking about demanding animals

play13:04

like lions or monkeys but tiny pets like

play13:06

snakes and

play13:08

geckos reptile

play13:11

responsibility not too long ago in

play13:13

Florida reptile keep Keepers were

play13:14

mandated to microchip their animals much

play13:16

like the common practice of

play13:18

microchipping dogs and cats around the

play13:20

globe we still don't think it's a good

play13:22

idea to keep lizards as pets given their

play13:25

inherently wild nature nevertheless

play13:27

microchipping does no harm to the

play13:29

reptile and offers potential benefits in

play13:31

case the pet goes missing this

play13:33

intervention can be seen as promoting

play13:36

responsible

play13:37

ownership still

play13:40

Untamed yes I'll just keep saying this

play13:42

over and over again and now we've got

play13:45

the science to back it up think about it

play13:47

lots of people have pets whether it's a

play13:50

dog a cat or even a cow these animals

play13:53

have a calmer stress response system in

play13:55

their bodies compared to their wild

play13:57

counterparts like wolves lions or

play13:59

Buffalo as a result our typical pets

play14:01

like dogs cats and cows are far less

play14:04

likely to become agitated and harm

play14:06

humans in contrast to their wild

play14:08

counterparts they aren't prone to

play14:10

attacking at all unlike their wild

play14:12

relatives who can and will attack it's

play14:15

not the animals fault over thousands of

play14:17

years of living alongside humans

play14:19

domesticated animals have been purposely

play14:22

bred to get along with this in other

play14:24

words we've spent thousands of years

play14:26

making them capable of living peacefully

play14:28

and safely with us wild animals on the

play14:30

other hand haven't followed the same

play14:32

path so they can't behave in the same

play14:34

way even if you adopt them at a young

play14:37

age sure if wild animals grow up among

play14:39

humans for generations and seem tame

play14:42

they'll still retain their wild

play14:44

instincts and react like wild animals

play14:46

when stressed that's just the way nature

play14:49

Works see you
