George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. He gets some unusual phone calls. One day, he got a call about a mountain lion living in a small building. "We didn't believe it," Watford said. "But when we got there, sure enough, there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us." The big cat's owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal. He didn't try to stop us taking it away.

In one year, the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals, not counting cats and dogs. That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys, but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic pets from people's homes. These animals can't be set free into the wild because they wouldn't survive. The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.

It's against the law to sell wild animals in New York City. Many buildings don't even allow dogs or cats, not to mention more exotic animals. Still, the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints, but because the pet's owner needs help. A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous. "When they bite, it isn't because they hate you. It's because they're wild animals," said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.

Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets. Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat. "To love an animal is not enough," Travers said. "There has to be respect, and respect is not taking an animal, sticking it in a little cage, and expecting the animal to be happy."
