As claimed by Mia Lewis in “Do You Really Want a Baby Tiger?”, “Owning a wild animal is arguably cruel to the animal in a way that owning a domestic animal isn’t” (Lewis). If the proper methods of utmost care are provided to the animal, cruelty is not present. Additionally, the argument that domestication determines whether or not an animal is fit to be kept as a pet prevails. According to Lewis, “Exotic animals are something else entirely. They are wild animals with wild instincts, even when born in captivity. A wild animal is never 100 percent predictable” (Lewis). Although this may be true, no animal is 100 percent predictable. Animals that are considered domesticated have also caused danger to their owner. The owner must be educated on the possible hazard of the ownership of any animal, domestic or undomesticated, and be prepared for it. If the appropriate precautions are taken into consideration, harm can be…
In the, “Exotic Animals Belong in the Wild,” essay, the author made a good, persuasive case. They used a lot of evidence to back up their case, and they also included a lot of details. It is quite clear that the author does not think people should be able to own exotic pets. First of all, the author included a lot of evidence to back up their case. For example, the author said, “Most animal rights groups, such as the Humane Society of the United States and Born Free USA, agree that wild animals are not meant to be kept as pets.”…
Humans are animals, but they are very different than any other animals. Many things can prove us that humans are one of a kind, like their intelligence for example. Even though humans and animals have many activities in common (sleeping, eating, mating, and defending), human beings have a fifth faculty: the intelligence to inquire into the truth of our existence (Butler and Guru). The following text will explain why human beings should be considered unique and why they should be in a different category from all the other non-human animals.…
I think people should not have exoctic pets like pythons because they can endanger many animals when they kill to many of them. For example they can endanger specific types of deer and other animals like that too. Then they can possibly become enstingth. That means there would be very few of certain animals left here on earth.…
The article named Monkey Helpers by Tamra Orr states that “a monkey could suddenly hurt a person if it got angry or frightened for some reason.” the text also tells us that even trained Capuchin monkeys can suddenly become violent and be dangerous to ourselves and other people around us. New Service Animal rules also adds on to the idea that some animals create an unhealthy environment by telling us “some animals are not trained to keep an area clean. For example, birds could leave droppings on a store floor. This creates an unhealthy setting for others.”…
Others think that the zoo is a great place to view mother nature's creatures for a reasonable price. In the excerpt, “Zoos Connect Us to the Natural World”, it states, “Only a small percentage of our nation's citizens can afford to travel to exotic locations to view wild tigers, elephants, or giant pandas”. But, that right there states wild tigers, elephants and pandas, and they are called wild animals for a reason they are supposed to be free and well wild. So instead of keeping these animals caged up we should let them be what they are meant to be and that is wild animals.…
Did you know that there's a law that a service dog is the only animal that can go in public places? I think that any service animal should be able to go to a public place as long as they’re helping someone. Monkeys are actually very smart and can help someone more than a dog can. Also other animals may keep someone calm,may help them carry something,and may even give someone exercise. But since this law is here no one is allowed to take any other animal but a dog to public places.…
I maintain what I said which I totally disagree. There are some people not comfortable with the idea and projects in order to protects animals. In the article “ Of primates and personhood” by Ed Yong talks about some projects about apes basically talks how “ Great Ape Project” was established in 1993 it demands a basic set of moral and legal rights for chimpanzees and apes,gorillas bonobos and orangutans.” Yong state in his article “ i do think we have special obligations to the great apes as our closest relatives, but if we give rights to apes, what would be the compelling reason not to give rights to monkeys ,dogs rats, and so on” imagine give rights to this animals when they are not similar to us do not have…
Introduction: Different exotic animals in different taxonomic groups may require different accommodation and requirements from that accommodation. These will be met by obeying to animal welfare laws and conventions.…
It is true that not all cases of an exotic pet have a negative outcome and the responsible ownership of these animals can happen. Although, this is not always the case: there are dangers involved in owning an exotic animal. Kukol, Zuzana reports in USA Today, "Dangers from exotic animals are low. On average in the United States, only 3.25 people per year are killed by captive animals." It also claims that most of the animals are not "stolen" from the wild, but born in captivity. Although 3.25 deaths may not be a lot, especially when compared to something like the number of deaths daily from a motor vehicle, it is still too many because these deaths are preventable by leaving animals in their natural habitats. The article "Animals Born in Captivity" says, "Wild animals usually prefer to stay away from people; captive raised animals on the other hand are often too familiar and social with humans. For a wild animal, losing its caution of humans is a bad thing, dangerous for the animal and possibly us." When wild animals encounter humans, many foreign germs and infections spread to both the animals and the humans. Similarly, feeding wild animals may attract more animals into a town or near people, which can easily spread diseases and expose both the animals and the humans to foreign, and potentially deadly, germs and…
Zoos: Tiger in zoo Zoos remove animals from their natural birthplaces and companions, and confine them in unnatural surroundings. Justifications include arguments such as “they show us animals we normally wouldn’t see”; “they help rehabilitate animals”; and “they are an important educational tool in preserving endangered species.”…
In the article “ Should Wild Animals Be Kept as Pets” it states “ Exotic animals often grow to be larger, stronger, and more dangerous than owners expect or can manage. Even small monkeys and small cats such as ocelots can inflict serious injuries, especially on child. "(Should Wild Animals Be Kept as Pets). At first you might think it’s a good idea but in reality it really not. When you first being and exotic animal into a house it could be small and seem sweet and cute.…
Many people enjoy the company of a pet, whether it be a cat or a dog; these animals provide a person with companionship and affection. Pet owners become emotionally invested in their pets and treat them as if they are part of the family. Some pet owners will pamper and shower these animals with affection as well as let them have the run of the house. However, a person needs to remember animals do not function as humans or have the capacity to reason. There are people who believe wild or exotic animals can be domesticated as well as become family pets. When taking care of pets such as a lion or primate these animals require more attention and owner responsibility. There are many states within the United States that have laws banning the ownership of wild animals. However, people are still purchasing exotic animals as pets through the black market. Local communities should not allow residents to own wild animals as companions or breed exotic animals for profit because of the domestic environment, health hazards, as well as the additional financial and social responsibilities associated with owning such pets.…

The problem with animal captivity is its hurting animals mentally and physically Captive exotic animals are abused and exploited in a variety of settings including research, product testing, the entertainment industry and fur farms. Keeping wild animals in captivity is inherently cruel, as it deprives them of the ability to freely enjoy their natural behaviors in their natural environment. Every year captive exotic animals are involved in incidents where humans are injured or killed.…
