Humane TalkHumane Talk (12-8-2014) #8040: Dr. Karen Rosenthal, Tracie’s co-host on EXOTIC PETS, talks about the difference between “domesticated” and “domestic bred” and how much conditions were improved for parrots and other birds with the passage of the 1992 law that made it illegal to import birds into the United States. Dr. Karen also discusses her work in the field on behalf of animals like the blue iguana, and the six sick ones she was recently called in to treat for “egg retention” — a species that has been brought back from extinction with proper management in the wild, so that the last remaining 40 blue iguanas now number 1,000!
