Non-native Pet Amnesty Day February 6, 2010

If you have an exotic pet you can no longer care for, please don’t just open the front door and set it free; bring it to Miami Metrozoo for the 6th Annual Nonnative Pet Amnesty Day hosted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). In an effort to keep unwanted exotic pets out of Florida’s native ecosystems, the FWC and Miami Metrozoo will accept exotic reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and mammals only on this day, without a question. Domestic pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets) will not be accepted.
