NEWS AND VIEWS: In violation of New York State law governing the commercial possession and sale of wild cat species such as the caracal and serval, Christopher Casacci, 38, of Amherst, traded in these exotic African cats under the guise of selling domestic pets.

This is another example of failed serval cat ownership. A complete disaster. Ezekiel Elliott is an American football star and his father, Stacy Elliott, allegedly bought a serval without a permit. Servals have to be confined with the owner’s property because they are too large to wander around. They are wild animals. They frighten …
African servals don’t make good pets to most people who buy one. Good pets are domestic animals that provide companionship and enjoyment.
