    Total crap I’ve personally been too multiple triple w auctions and you cannot fault the auction for what the owners or buyers are doing to the animals. Triple w is a great auction and I’m actually going this Thursday to sell 2 ostrich for the zoo I manage. These people and reporters have no clue what they are talking about let alone anything about exotic animals in general

      Truth!!!!! We help them out during the sales. We gave hay and water to every animal, every day. We can't do a medical check on every animal that comes in, it would take too long and cost too much. If the animal is sick before it gets here it's on the owner not the auction barn.

    • @rebelrooster7723
      @rebelrooster7723 2 роки тому +7

      Completely incorrect, you have to present a exotic wildlife license to even own most of these animals, to even get the proper paperwork USDA and ZAA have to inspect you property and land before any species are approved to inhabit it. The problem is some people are doing it illegally and illegal sales AFTER the auction takes place. Those animals are only in the pens for a few hours. I know this because I’m a lead manager and animal specialist at a zoo in Louisiana and I’m actually going tomorrow to the triple w auction to sell 2 ostrich. If you don’t know what your talking about or have any experience, it’s best to just keep your mouth closed.

      or how many animals peta has killed (do a behind the scenes on them to see the horrors they commit)like going to dog hows and letting dogs out of the owners vehicles to get ran over by cars, stolen or lost etc. animals have to be used in same way or they will become extinct but that is no excuse for animal cruelty either.

    This specific auction, and probably many other facilities are terrible and unethical. But this as a whole isn’t bad, usually good. People who work with animals tend to care for them and treat them with great respect. But sometimes you do come across terrible humans who abuse wildlife, which ultimately puts a bad reputation on zoos and ranches. No one ever does research about the good in wildlife conservation, rather people get fed information that puts good things in poor light.
    And that camel was more expensive than it should be. There’s hundreds of millions running around the wild, shouldn’t be hard to get one.

      A gelding camel trained to ride goes for 10k to 15k. A untrained female of breeding age goes for a minimum of 10k, and these are just your camels of average color. The white or paint's go for real high dollar. The black camels can go for over 100k. Now when it comes to the two humped bactrian camels you will be hard pressed to find any under 10k, the white ones bring a much higher price
