‘Keeping wildlife affects their well-being’

JOHOR BARU: The well-being of dangerous wildlife such as venomous snakes and protected species such as the sun bear, slow loris and leopard cat will be affected if they are kept as pets.

Johor Wildlife and National Parks Depart­ment (Perhilitan) director Salman Saaban said in some cases, these wildlife were sourced out from the forest or bought illegally from the black market.
