should people have exotic animals as pets

       Having exotic animals as pets is not a good idea.  One reason is that almost all exotic animals a wild and can hurt you and if you do the wrong thing then they will hurt you. Even if you think there won’t hurt you they will, and even if they are in cages that doesn’t mean they can’t hurt you they can probably get out of a cage. If you have exotic animals as pets that it’s not good for them because they won’t be raised like they would be in the wild. http://www.aspca.org/adoption/adoption-tips/exotic-animals.aspx  said that “Experts believe that it took at least five thousand years and perhaps longer than ten thousand years, for wolves to evolve into dogs.” The site is very reliable and they think that it is bad to have exotic animals as pets because it has a whole paragraph that is titled “it’s bad for the animals”. It also says that it is bad for us because the animals are dangerous and it also says it is bad for the environment because they should be in the wild not domestic.

       I think that http://www.paws.org/exotic-animals.html is a good source because it is an organization and that they show everyone’s point of view from the law to the owners. The website says that the animals need to be in the wild and that the animals can also transmit diseases.it tells you what the animal should be living in the wild and why it is bad for the animal to be domesticating a wild animal.it shows the laws point of view and were it is illegal to have a n exotic pets.  Almost 90% of macaque monkeys carry diseases in there saliva. That is a fact that is reliable.

      A lot of my information from this website http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/exotic_pets/facts/  I think that this website is very reliable because they have a lot of different view points. They have the laws point of view and the owner’s point of view.it even has the point of view of the animal, like how it’s supposed to be raised in the wild and not in a cage.it also says that I you capture the wild animals that it could ruin their population and maybe even cause them to go to extinction.
