Why cant I just let it go? Its a wild animal isnt it?
Simply put, DONT!! Except in the rare case that you have been keeping a local species (see above question) releasing your pet can cause many problems. The animal is most likely captive bred, and has no idea of how to protect itself in the wild. Even if it did, this is not its home environment and it will most likely meet death quickly. In the event it lives, it could upset the natural flora and fauna. There is no need to release an exotic pet into the wild when there are organizations willing and able to take it from you and help place it in a new loving home.
