"Please…Don't Make a Pet out of Me!" Teaching Poster
For a child, having an exotic pet holds a lot of intrigue. But few youngsters—or adults, for that matter—know the risks and responsibilities associated with keeping wild animals as pets. This supersized (26"x40") poster highlights the health, environmental, and humane issues connected with captive wildlife and emphasizes that snakes, turtles, hedgehogs, and other wild animals belong in their natural habitats. Young animal lovers are encouraged to open their hearts and homes to any one of the adoptable companions at their local shelter. $8.00 Volume discounts are available.
