"Everything marked red is poisonous"

Officer Tim Harrison at an exotic pet market

Viewed as part of my Beware the Docs of March Marathon 1. The film follows the massive out of control rise in exotic dangerous pets across America, thankfully theres guys like Officer Tim Harrison a sort of Ace Ventura Pet Detective for dangerous animals.

Pretty average doc, that felt like an animal themed episode of COPS for most part. The core story follows hick Terry Brumfield, whose brought up 2 lions from cubs. Now suffering a disability he struggles to manage the fully grown lions. The real concern for America is how easily available these animals are, cop Tim goes to an exotic pet market where you can buy pretty much any animal under the sun without the need of owner training.

The 16 foot snake it took four people to carry and seeing the little kids with their pet baby gators.
