Local Sanctuary Takes Unwanted or Abused Lions, Tigers, Bears
Alan Ray (Guest Host): There's a lot of money to be made in selling exotic animals. It's a $15.8 billion industry in the US. Right up in the same category as guns and drugs. But many of the exotic animals that fetch such high prices require long-time commitment and special care, often by people who have neither to give. So, the animals are often abandoned when their owners get tired of them.
