Oh god, I don't see that going well at all. There's a reason why zebras were never domesticated, and that reason is because they I really hate people who think that just because a wild animal resembles a domestic one they must be the same thing. Wolves are not dogs, and zebras are not ponies. Maybe some person who is really experienced with handling and training wild burros will take pity on the zebra, but something makes me doubt it.

Jenner posted:/\/\/\ Bischons are a bit on the large size for that, at least as adults. A great horned owl could probably kill one, but it would be unlikely to be able to carry it off. Adult bichon frises weigh 10-20 lbs, which is as much or more than most eagles, let alone the carrying weight of most birds of prey. I doubt a hawk would even try, and most eagles would be too lazy. The main species of bird of prey to worry about in North America is the great horned owl because they have no problem eating other predators and will definitely prey on cats. Still, you have the size issue unless that was a young puppy. That said, the coyotes in my neighborhood have no problem climbing a size foot tall fence, all they need is a bit of a running start and some parkour-type moves. My neighbor had some distinctly canine paw prints near the top of the back of their six foot tall security fence, which faced a stream area. It's possible that a dog put it there, but it's more likely to be a coyote. Another option is that their yard was simply not a secure as they thought it was, it wouldn't take much of a hole for a small dog to escape, and once it's out it's likely to be picked up by someone who would keep it for themselves, if it didn't get hit by a car.

adventure in the sandbox posted:Ok so I want this dog and I found some puppies that I am interested in too! For $450 from a byb the puppy better be altered and up to date on all its shots, but of course, knowing those guys, they aren't. Oh hey, anyone want a free horse? http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/pet/3471538343.html quote:Free registered arabian horse, she is 17 years old, very well broke to ride, suitable for an advancerd beginner as a step up horse or for an intermediate rider. She will make an excellent 4H horse. Her front heels are lsightly contracted. With two trims she is doing loads better, it should only take one or two more trims to be fixed completely. She needs a stall, no pasture. She has a tendency to founder on green grass but will do fine in a dry lot. Email with any questions! Any bets on whether a kill buyer picks her up?

I've seen the result of a boxer and lhasa apso. Love will find a way  Edit for content. Well, here's a thing. quote:My border collie lab mix puppy Leila was stolen Dec.2nd. She was taken from her crate that was outside while I was doing chores. The Oregon Humane Society recieved my dog later that day and didn't call any vets offices to see if someone was missing an obviously cared for and loved puppy. She was adopted the 4th of Dec. I've asked them to give me my dog back several times, because it's in their power to do so, but they refuse to. She answers to Leila, "Leelee", and "Leelee puppy". The OHS renamed her "Lara May". She weighs about 50lbs. and has a small white spot on her chest and chin, with a few strands of white on her legs and flanks. She's 7 months old and is about the size of a fully grown border collie. If you suspect you see her say either of her nicknames and she'll react in a joyful butt wiggling way. There is a reward for anyone who finds her or helps me find her. Please call or email me at XXXXXXXXXX anytime with leads, and not rants on why to get her microchiped. AND TO YOU FLAGGERS,GET A LIFE!!!!!!! I'm trying to get my dog back who was taken from me by cruel hearted people and the OHS who didn't obey the protocol in adopting out animals by evaluating her for a longer time then two days. Which makes me wonder, A) why was her dog crated outside while she was doing chores and B) why didn't she contact OHS herself when her dog went missing? platedlizard fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Dec 16, 2012 |

Oh geeze, he's selling green iguanas. My iguana would have been over six feet long if he hadn't lost the last foot of his tail sometime before I got him five years ago. These are not small reptiles and can be very dangerous (my guy has bitten through a leather jacket). I really hate seeing stores and hoarders with iguanas.

Fluffy Bunnies posted:http://elpaso.en.craigslist.org/zip/3647679607.html Oh god what. I think I'd go get the poor thing and make a straight trip to the nearest primate refuge. Just show up on their doorstep with a chimp I got from craigslist and a couple hundred dollars donation. Whatever they do with it will be be 100X better than whatever Joe 'I want a pet who will rip my face off' Schmoe will do with it. Even euthanasia. Dead serious, when I worked at Petsmart I had customers who told me they wanted to get wolves and other dangerous exotic animals. The danger just made them want the animal more. The animal was a dick-replacement, I swear.

Please tell us what's going to happen to that chimp. 2nd most intelligent species of ape in the world, I worry Bad Thing will happen. And that one is still a baby at two. And oh god, I'll never get over people weaning puppies early to sell. Even if they get weaned early from Mom they still need to be with their siblings until they're at least 8 weeks, otherwise they might have issues with bite-inhibition. 12 is better. WHY are these folks so ready to get rid of their (presumably wanted) puppies at five weeks?? fake edit: Oh my loving god I might know this bird. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pet/3640788384.html He would have been ten when I knew him. I cannot care for him, please, someone tell me that getting another bird is a Bad Idea, I literally have hoarder tendencies and they are SCREAMING for me to save this animal.

Pile of Kittens posted:I tried to convince my boyfriend to take this bird, but the house has a baby and it would not work out at all. Argh. If it's the bird I'm thinking of it has biting issues, I would not recommend a animal like that for a household with a small child. Jesus, this reminds me of the time Wes's breeder liquidated her flock and I called her a panic trying to find out if she still had his parents (she didn't).

Pew! Pew! posted:
Pssh it's not like they get big or anything (yes they get very big and can bite through a broom handle as adults) I guess sometimes a person really does deserve to lose a finger. Or two. Reminds me of the family in Washington a decade ago who kept an alligator in their bathtub, and got upset when it escaped and their neighbors complained about having an alligator on their front lawn. Because it was totally a nice family pet and not dangerous at all and how dare they get mad when a large carnivore showed up on their doorstep unexpectedly. Maybe the neighbors should have fed it a hand or something I don't know. Anyway, cute turtle, I hope it enjoys its future diet of human limbs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin#Performance_enhancement_in_dogs That's what those bullies remind me of. They look very similar to a double-muscled whippet. Has anyone ever tested bullies to see if they have that mutation? (this probably isn't right thread for it, I guess, but I'm curious) The spelling is the real cap of that post however. Nice, professional looking picture that was probably stolen from another site; terrible, terrible spelling and grammar. Also, the last place I think of when I'm looking for show-quality dogs is Craigslist.

To actually contribute some content:quote:Green Iguana (edited out) This is just awesome iguana-keeping. Not only did they buy an animal they can't afford to properly house, she lays eggs! I foresee a very expensive emergency spay in the future if she's very lucky, or a dead iguana if she's not.

Scary Ned posted:Eh, it's less weird than you might think. Given how much space these guys need to be happy, it's a pretty good solution for people who don't mind iguana-proofing the whole damned house. I have an iggy too, mine's almost six feet long and I keep him in a solid-sided cage that's the size of a walk-in closet. It just boggles me that people get these guys and then get rid of them when they get too big. That's kind of like getting a great dane puppy and rehoming it when it grows up in my opinion. It's an iguana, it's going to get big. My understanding is that the females will often have trouble if they don't have a place to bury her eggs, like a nice deep rubbermaid contain full of potting soil. I should take some pictures of my guy, he sleeps with his tongue hanging out.

Drum posted:This guy's got 4 more listing for adult birds. Seriously 70 Quaker babies? 20 Conure babies? And this guy even states he's a wholesaler, so that kind of goes terribly against Craigslist policy on selling pets. I've hand raised birds before and everything is wrong with this ad.  those babies will die of sour-crop and/or crop-burns and/or malnutrition due to being sold to inexperienced handfeeders. And 4 week old macaws being hand fed three times a day ye gads  These are birds who need to be hand fed for six to nine months. One month old is still a tiny infant for them. In my old job we'd be still feeding them five to six times a day. Three times a day is for when they'd switched to their fledging stage and started to drop weight so they could learn to fly.Then worst part is I garuntee he knows most of these babies will die, and doesn't care. Ive seen wholesalers like him before and they do not give a poo poo about their animals, they could be wholesaling lumber for all they care. One guy I know of even ignored a quarantine for a poultry disease in order to make a buck about fifteen years ago.

Nightmare Zone posted:I highly recommend central and south Florida's CL if you wanna see more animals of questionable legality up for sale. Honestly you'd be surprised at what is legal to own, a lot of states will allow you to keep dangerous predatory animals with the barest minimum containment which is how you get people keeping tigers in a dog run in their backyard in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. I just had a lady in today at work who mentioned that she own a lynx (I think a Siberian Lynx but I'm not sure). This was at a normal grocery store. She's the third person I've met who owned an exotic cat.

One of the people I knew kept their Bobcats in their garage & some other cat (not domestic ) in their house. It was this other cat that attacked their parrot. The other person kept a lion in their apartment. It's a wonder that there aren't more people dead from lion in the great US of A imo
