Exotic animal classifieds are advertisements in the print media or online websites. They serve people who wish to buy or sell animals that are not indigenous to a particular part of the world. The word, 'classified' relates to the practice of grouping cheap advertisements that appear in large numbers in print newspapers under headings such as 'Cars for Sale' or 'Situations Vacant'. This helps browsers to quickly find what they are looking for. Some websites have followed this practice now that the print media is on the decline
Some people oppose the trade in rare animals. They believe that it is wrong to remove animals from their natural habitat and point to instances in which species become endangered due to demand for them from other parts of the world. For example adult apes are often killed in order to obtain the young and export them under cruel conditions.
Opposed to this scenario is the view that species can be saved from extinction when they are exported to zoos in other countries and used in breeding programs. Many breeds of dogs and cats, for example, are exotic but that does not seem to bother the anti-exotics lobby.
To counter objections one must consider certain facts that are incontrovertible. Fries land cattle have been exported around the world to the benefit of milk production. Dissemination of the breed has actually strengthened its position and cross breeding has resulted in new strains that are even more productive.
In recent decades the movement of people from the country into cities has accelerated across the world. Urbanization implies less living space and traditional pets like dogs need to run and enjoy wild scents. Smaller creatures like hedgehogs, pot bellied pigs and sugar gliders might actually be happier within the confines of a city condo or apartment. They may also eat less.
Sugar gliders seem to be fashionable as pets. Being social animals with character they can become fascinating companions for city dwellers who can rest assured that they will be happy to be left together as pairs during much of the day and provide companionship and fun for owners withing the confines of a city dwelling. Such suitable pets can be found in exotic animal classifieds.
