Mini S Exotic Zoo Holds Animals by the NECK

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse than what the fruit bats suffered at Mini S Exotic Zoo, others are coming forward about what happens out of view of the public eye.

Note that Mini S Exotic Zoo in Mineola, Texas also laughingly goes by C.A.R.E.S: Conservation & Advocacy For Rare & Endangered Species.

One visitor writes:

While there we happened to walk by a building and see a marmoset looking out through the window. We walked in and couldn't believe what we saw. Tiny and filthy cages with no light on at 1:00 PM in the afternoon. No UVA/UVB lighting and completely improper cages. A staff member came running in and when we asked "why," we were told that they were "just breeders." We walked out and over to the next building. Same story. Quite a few tiny cages with no light or enrichment items. All told we probably saw 12-15 pairs of marmosets and even some endangered cotton top tamarins in deplorable conditions. My wife just started crying."


Another visitor wrote:

I noticed she has been getting involved in trapping and so has the guy who stole my animals.  I have a suspicion that both of them are trapping animals in order to keep as live inventory for breeding and selling offspring to make money."


This photo also surfaced of a poor baby skunk being mishandled at Mini S Exotic Zoo.

This photo has since been removed from the Mini S Exotic Zoo Facebook Page.

Note that PETA has been investigating Mini S Exotic for years.

Mini S Zoo in Mineola, Texas has since closed it's doors to the public stating they are under attack by animal rights activists. If Mini S Zoo had nothing to hide they would allow visitors inside the hell-hole sheds where they keep the "breeders" and other, helpless poor animals that are allegedly being subjected to neglect, abuse and cruelty.

Places like Mini S Exotic Zoo, who try to disguise themselves as a conservation organization, should all be shut down and owners like Michelle Smith should be deeply ashamed. There is a special place in hell reserved for the likes of her.
