I agree mostly with their two paragraphs. I rescued an exotic parrot and while I certainly had mixed feelings before I got him, I now know that parrots, for example, should not be pets whatsoever. It's not fair to them, and we breed them pretty much entirely out of selfishness.

So that, by itself, doesn't really convince me of much. I do appreciate the links, however. Thanks.

Searchable, yes, but only within an ocean of hot takes, tabloids and tweets.
