  2. The Issue… • Should exotic animals be kept as pets? • Some think…exotic animals are not meant to be caged and trapped with a civilian • Others think…these innocent animals are good companionship for lonely people

  3. Advantages Good for people -Companionship for lonely people-animals give us emotional support -They can be bred and sold for a lot of money -It is extremely easy to obtain a wild pet-more than 1000 internet sites offer to sell them -Owner can educate others about their exotic pet Good for animals -May save an injured animal -Could help an exotic animal that is near the bottom of the food chain and would surely get eaten out in the wild -Many species are at risk of population decline in the wild

  4. Disadvantages Bad for the animals -Exotic animals like monkeys, or wild cats need a lot of space to move -Being in a house or running around outside won’t cut it -Owners might keep them caged or cut of claws, which takes away defense system -Medicine is hard to find for these exotic animals and would not be able to go to vet • Bad for Humans • -Illegal in most areas • -Get infected with diseases that most exotic animals are infected with like chlamydia, giardia, hepatitis A, rabies, ringworm • -Impossible to meet animals needs

  5. Our Opinion… • Keeping exotic animals as pets is dangerous for the animal and human-these animals belong in their natural habitat • Baby animals don’t stay cute and small forever, and many people release their pets into the wild once they decide they don’t want them anymore • Wild animals can spread diseases such as herpes B, rabies, and Salmonella. • People don’t realize that these animals require special care, so they end up depriving them of some of their basic needs • Humans and animals are both at risk of getting hurt
