Not a Pet is a thought-provoking series that explores the illegal wildlife pet trade and how social media amplifies the public’s fascination with exotic animals. Each episode shines a light on the ways animals like cheetahs, primates, tigers, birds, and reptiles are commodified and showcased online. Through real stories and striking visuals, the films reveal the consequences of treating wild creatures as status symbols rather than wild beings. By questioning what it means to “own” an exotic animal, the series invites viewers to rethink their relationship with wildlife and consider the broader impacts of these practices.
