I support the HDCA in asking Los Angeles Board of Animal Services Commission to eliminate permits that allow for use of exotic animals for private parties in residential areas.

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is honestly wild to see so many people actually care about these animals being used for silly photo ops. It just feels like things are finally shifting away from treating these creatures like party favors which is such a huge relief.

For the safety of the animals and the public, please do not allow exotic animals at private parties. There is no need for this.

This is a most inhuman and selfish act to inflict on any species, These permits should NOT be allowed in both residental OR commercial areas.

Exotic animals while interesting to look at and cause a certain amount of excitement are not proper for private residential parties. They put both the animals and residents in danger. I'm sure people can entertain guests in many other ways

You may be a party animal, but exotic creatures are not yours to use as party props. Ban the exploitation of exotic animals in the Hollywood Dell and beyond.

It is unbelievably cold hearted to treat animals like accessories. It jeopardizes their sense of safety and is threatening to them, triggering fight or flight instincts. Animals - particularly large exotics - are not toys, trophies, or ours to display in cages - PLEASE STOP THIS PRACTICE! IT IS BARBARIC!

Tara the Elephant and a caged lion were paraded around as party attractions at the home of Bastian Gillmeir on 2 separate occasions. During the elephant event, illegal fireworks were set off. PLEASE do not permit this egregious, dangerous practice to continue!
