Bitch be crazy.

I wanted to squeeze the tiny heads on those little monkeys.

I couldn't help but think of Karl Pilkington when they showed that chimpanzee wearing a T-shirt.

Saber toothed tigers were definitely not around 360 million years ago. That's 100 million years before dinosaurs appeared :lol:

That's a good way to start their genetic experimentations.

Breeding a Sabertooth :lol:

Quality documentary. The chimp owners were strawberry floating mental, I would have gone no where near that bigger one, totally irresponsible to let something like that wander about freely.

I didn't quite catch the sabre-tooth tiger bit-how were they going to do it?

I dunno, as much as I don't like the idea of caged animals, they do have a point about breeding the rare ones for conservation.

Sticking a tiger and a lion in a cage and leaving them to it, I think.

I've got 2 different lizards in my garage, gonna leave them to it and hopefully if my science is right we'll have a velociraptor in a few weeks.

That would give you a liger or a tigron depending on which species is male and which is female.

Don't see where the sabre tooth would come from....

They all seemed to have the best intentions but they're all horribly misinformed.

And completely blind to how unhappy some of those animals clearly are.

I have a Pepperami and some slightly off cheese in my fridge - I wonder what'll happen if I leave them in there for a few months?

Jo Exotic was a good guy who cared for the animals and looked after them. The others were strawberry floating mentalists.

Hmm, was still slightly exploitative of him to carry on breeding animals that he couldn't really afford...

I thought they were going to selectively cross breed the various large cats they have there until they end up with something resembling the old sabre-tooth. Like they'd keep breeding the tigers with the largest fangs with the most agile leopards and so on.

Don't see how they can realistically be successful with that without having a few thousand individual beasts and at least 10 generations time, but whatever. Plus they'd end up with a new species of feline, not the real sabre-tooth.

Or maybe they found some real sabre-tooth DNA and want to inject it into a zygote or something.

One minor flaw in their plan is I think a lot of cross breeding produces infertile offspring....

Genetics aren't really a hill billy's strong point.

He was more carrying on because he was 'rescuing' the animals from other owners. I don't agree with private owners but I don't think he should get a bad rep or hassled by PETA.

He was breeding them because he can make most money from them when they're young.

If it was a sanctuary and it was purely for rescuing animals he wouldn't be breeding them at all.

And of course he should get a bad rep from PETA-they're clearly not kept in good conditions.
