Hong Kong’s exotic pet trade is a global crisis. Since 2015, over 5.5 million wild animals were plucked from rainforests and deserts, trafficked into the city for profit. Many, like sugar gliders, carry diseases that threaten humans. Others, like African grey parrots, vanish from ecosystems, accelerating a 69% global wildlife decline since 1970. Stripped from their homes, animals endure cramped crates, cages, and tanks. Biodiversity collapse due to deforestation and lack of sustainability.
These animals aren’t novelties; they’re Earth’s lifelines.
—Born wild, not for your home.
