This is what they call pets in Africa

I remember a time when everyone of my friends wanted to get a pitbull as a pet, just so they can look cooler, and brag about how dog their dogs were. Now staring at these pictures I realize Africans are at whole other level, anyone of those pets, be it the hyenas, baboons or the python would make a pitbull beg for mercy.

Still it looks very cruel, taking wild animals, slapping a huge chain on them and using them as pets, it doesn’t look at all natural.

    I seen a few of these images before. They must have those Hyenas trained SUPERBLY! Because they have the strongest bite of any land animal. baboons are just plain psycho and snakes? well fuck snakes..lol

    These are the copyrighted images of South African photographer Pieter Hugo, taken from his latest book Hyena and Other Men. The men depicted are Nigerian street performers and medicine men that travel around with these animals to ‘prove’ the potency of their magic and medicine. They are licensed by the Nigerian government and treat their animals with love and respect.

    Well I think those are some of the chubbiest hyenas I have ever seen, so at least they must be fed well. Everytime I have seen pictures of hyena in the wild or videos, they are always soooo skinny and ugly.

    These animals are very dangerous and temperental. The fact that the owners arn’t dead shows that they must be excellent trainers. These are not the kind of animals that you can beat into submission cause they would end you if you tried. Good animal trainers always take care of their pets. And the whole tough guy look in the pics, its just for show since these were professionally taken pictures.
