Exotics should not be pets

I have read so many articles about people who take exotics into their homes and don't have a clue what these animals need to survive. This article, from New Jersey, is a perfect case in point.
This couple may have had these tortoises for 15 years, but it was obvious to the SPCA they were not being cared for properly. They were desert tortoises who were laying in water and were malnourished.
I am glad they were confiscated and a new home is being sought for them. Exotics should be regulated and only those who know what they are doing should be allowed to own them.
