Animal Suffering
The exotic pet trade involves suffering on a massive scale and most animals die prematurely.
Saving wild animals from the pet trade
We are the Animal Protection Agency
As the only UK organisation solely focused on trade in wild animals as pets, we campaign for tighter restrictions on the pet trade and strive for greater protection for captive wild animals. Together we can ensure these animals are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve.
Exotic pets
What's the problem?
Confined to tanks and cages, millions of wild animals suffer miserable lives - and often premature deaths - in conditions that fail to meet their complex needs. This destructive trade causes large-scale suffering, drives extinction, and wreaks havoc on global ecosystems.
