The two guinea pigs of classical singer G Elangovan, Chintu and Mintu, entered the house four years ago as pets for his son Govindan. “He wasn`t concerned about acquiring a specific pet,” Elangovan says, “so we started researching different animals. We couldn`t have a dog because we travel a lot and we don`t have a big house. But we knew we wanted a loving pet, sensitive to us, and easy to keep in a small house. We focused on a guinea pig. Doves are curious, energetic and charming birds from Africa. Although they are small, they belong to the parrot family. They are named after the close ties they form with each other. Because of their desire to bond in this way, it is best to keep them as pets in pairs. There are nine types of turtle doves, including “eye ring” species that have a white ring around the eyes (such as black masked doves and angler doves), and those without an eye ring, such as peach-faced doves. When the trade in reptile skins was banned, the leather industry first developed calfskin, which was embossed and refined in different ways to resemble reptile skins – especially crocodile skin.
Traders proudly said it was not reptile skin, but an alternative. During the interrogation and examination, it was found that the materials were made of embossed calfskin in such a way that they closely resembled crocodile, snake, python and monitor lizard skins. The highest demand for products for real or “real” crocodile and alligator skin – especially smooth abdominal skin – is found in France and Japan. The flanks are considered the most valuable part of an alligator`s skin, as the small patches are less likely to crack. When India banned the hunting of its three species of crocodiles – gavial, saltwater or estuary and predator or marsh crocodile – in 1972, they were threatened with extinction. In fact, as of 2010, the gharial, continues to be listed as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. In the world, there are only 750 to 1000 adults, 95% of whom are in India and 5% in Nepal. Their confirmed breeding ranges are along the Chambal, Narayani (Chitwan of Nepal), Ramganga (Corbett), Girwa (Katerniaghat) and Gandak (in Bihar) rivers. Unfortunately, gharials have stopped breeding in the Ghagra, Mahanadi, Son and Ken rivers. Delaware state law requires permits for most wild mammals and hybrids. Pets that do not require a permit include chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, opossums, rabbits, sugar gliders, etc. Many lizards are allowed, including anoles, water dragons, basilisks, bearded dragons, chameleons, geckos, iguanas and more.
Possession of non-native venomous snakes is illegal. India is home to a population of predatory crocodiles or swamp crocodiles, as well as gharials native to the country. Recently, these two species are in the midst of increasing conflicts due to rapid depletion of prey soil and habitat loss. With support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Indian government initially launched a crocodile breeding and protection project in Orrisa. The project was launched in 1975 under the leadership of Dr. H. R. Bustard with the main objective of rebuilding crocodile populations in the wild. 7.
There is no difference between farmed and wild crocodile skins, so any proposal to commercially exploit crocodiles on farms (including foreign crocodile species) while preserving others in the wild will prove absolutely counterproductive and completely contrary to the work and purpose of maintaining your ministry. Wild crocodiles have disappeared in countries like Papua New Guinea after the introduction of captive breeding for commercial purposes. Let us learn from these mistakes and not start commercially exploiting crocodiles under the guise of so-called “conservation of nature through sustainable use” here. Finches are fairly calm birds. You don`t have to worry about your pets picking up inappropriate words or yelling at you. However, finches are not quite still. Many of these cute birds react when approached or whistled, and they often greet their owners with adorable beeps and chirps, especially at dinner. Cute alert: If your zebra finches are near a window, they can answer the calls of wild birds. It is very important that your feathered friends feel comfortable in their cage. For a single pair of finches, you need a cage of at least 30″ x 18″ x 18″.
If you have more birds, you will need a larger cage. The bigger, the better, so get the biggest cage you can afford. Finches require more vertical space than horizontal, so get one that`s wider than it is high, with bars no more spaced half an inch apart. If you wish, you can keep organic grass in your finch cage. Your little friends will also appreciate that non-toxic plants are placed near their habitat. Ask your veterinarian for more information. She adds that cats are all different personalities. “They don`t have set meal times, so I just leave food and water and they help themselves whenever they want. In addition, they do not like the public when they go about their business in the litter box. While all Indian bird species are protected under the Wildlife Act, foreign exotic birds are exempt, Tambewala says. “And if they mate, lay eggs and hatch, that`s all legal too,” he adds. Tambewala criticizes activists who confiscate birds and release them back into the wild.
“These birds have been bred in captivity for generations and have lost their ability to survive on their own,” he says. New York law states that you cannot own wild animals, including non-domestic cats or dogs, bears, crocodiles, venomous reptiles, and primates. Animals you can keep as pets without permission include sugar gliders, wallabies, kangaroos, capybaras, porcupines and most non-venomous reptiles. No, parrots are not legal in India unless it is an exotic or foreign parrot from another country. Any parrot that actually comes from the country is illegal for someone who is locked up and kept as a pet. The owner of Croc, a South African cattle farm and tannery that delivers about 5,000 Nile crocodiles to Europe each year, admitted he wouldn`t have invested if he had known how difficult the business was before embarking on it. The Croc, after skinning the crocodiles, feeds their meat with the live crocodiles of the farm.
