Hay thar. I'm a 20+ year old art student and this is my personal blog.
It's mainly to reblog stuff that interest me, which include
Be warned, I spam a lot of stuff everyday in here, your dash will be several pages longer. BE VERY WARNED. I also sometimes post some NSFW things.
Main blog: ones-inspiration, which is my art/animation/writing blog thing for references and art stuff.Sometimes I don't know if I offended someone or not by their reactions (it's hard to tell online) so... just to let you know I don't mean it, don't take it to heart. I don't joke about things, or purposely write some trolling/flame-attracting messages (unless I'm pissed off and looking for a fight, which is rare). If it seems that way, I probably phrased my words wrong or spoke too bluntly. Please be forgiving if I've made such an error.

It has always been a pet peeve of mine when people claim to be animal lovers or active conservationists yet constantly bombard various aspects of social media with pictures of endangered species that they call their “pets”. Its becoming more and more prevalent on twitter, tumblr, facebook, instagram etc etc etc and quite frankly I find it alarming.
Poaching for the black market, “traditional medicines” and the pet trade contribute significantly to the threat of extinction so many species are faced with at the present time. All of us who work tirelessly to save these animals are well aware of this issue. It is my belief that by educating people and halting the demand we can halt the supply, poachers will not poach if there is no market for them to sell to. By purchasing these animals as pets you are not “saving” them, you are simply contributing to consumer demand. This only leads to more animals being taken from the wild.
The only time animals should be kept in captivity or removed from the wild is for true conservation purposes in carefully controlled and regulated breeding programs run by qualified zoological institutions. So please if you are passionate about conserving all of nature’s species DO NOT PURCHASE ENDANGERED ANIMALS!! Sure a slow loris or an endangered tarantula might seem like cool pets but think about the impact your decisions are having. Whether these animals have now been bred for commercial sale or not at one point they were removed from the wild, depleting their already critical populations. So please I urge you, boycott these sorts of unethical commercial practices in all forms.
And remember, education and awareness are the key.
Thanks guys,

I guess reporting these people who sell endangered animals would help too?
