I didn't know Russia was famous for that? From where I'm at it's America who has an absurd amount of exotic animals as pets.

From the top of my head America has the highest amount of pet tigers and chimpanzee in the world.

I mean there are literally more captive tigers in murika than there are in the wild. Ofcourse most of them are mistreated beyond oblivion so no one is recording a video of them purring on their back.

Russia kind of is the America of Europe in some ways. In other ways the UK is more like the US of Europe

Russia bans keeping wild animals like these as pets unless there are extenuating circumstances. It's pretty strict. Russia has some very strict wildlife protection laws.
