People Should NOT Keep Exotic Pets
By Trevor Hollie
People love to have pets, but some people like to take it another step and have exotic pets like lions, tigers, and bears oh my.
I looked on a debate website (The debate website) I saw that the results are that the less present is no but there are the better reasons, and the yes side has more votes but not a lot of better reasons. Like on the no side this person said,
“People should not keep exotic animals
Exotic animals need extra special care because they are exotic. People can not provide all the care that is needed. For an exotic animal to be at home can mentally disturb them so they are likely to show their anger by attacking humans. Exotic animals should live in zoos so they are cared for and their species grows.”
This shows that people are better off without exotic animals as like it says, “...at home can mentally disturb them so they are likely to show their anger by attacking.”
Also another said in their response,
“People are taking advantage of animals and our just keeping them for entertainment and because they think they are cool.”
People who own a exotic pet ever think of what's going on in their mind or how the animal thinks, really though what has that species of animal has done for the last thousand years or more than that, the way the animal acts is still in their blood no matter what. No one and I mean no one can change D.N.A or a blood code yet.So there is also this one story, a lady in Africa in 2014 pet chimpanzee and about a year later the chimp snapped and then it attacked its owner out of the blue and ripped off her face. (Really tho look it up I am not kidding) This is a big problem for humans safety and a big problem for the future.
Another reason that the people said on this subject, “First of all, exotic animals are called 'exotic' animals because THEY ARE! They belong in the wild and will find their own ways to survive because it's just life. You fight to survive. That is what every little or big creatures do no matter what. Anyway, we want to see the wonderful animals doing their natural routine; not using a spoon to scoop up cereal. As you probably know already, even though the animals are cute and cuddly when they are young cubs. This is the time when you should think, 'will they behave and listen to my instructions when they are 10 times bigger than me?'. And do not just move on by saying, 'Oh, I'll train them well for the future...' because you are risking your and other's life. Also, their diet is much different to our normal life style. For example, a can of lie earthworms. Or is they are carnivores, you're going to have to give up a whole gigantic chunk of meat every few hours when they grow. You see, this is why you should think about how it can affect your life and also your families' and friends' too. Thank you for reading and I hope this changes your mind.”
Like he said He hopes that the passage changes your mind so this is more proof that you shouldn’t have exotic pets.
These are reasons why people should NOT have exotic pets.
