The Danger of exotic pets to their owners and also neighbors

     My original thoughts on the topic the dangers of exotic pets to their owners and also their neighbors were

"well i guess if the person is quite knowledgeable " but after reading the article The dangers of keeping Exotic

"pets" on the website http://www.bornfreeusa.org i realized there is a lot more to that than just haven a cool

animal in your possession you are endangering them your selves and others around you . The article touches on

so many factors that really opened my eyes to the seriousness of keeping an exotic pet. An action that out of

lack of knowledge previously I supported and thought was kind of cool.


  But now my stance is different according to "The Dangers of Keeping Exotic "Pets" exotic animals pose a

serious risks to humans. many exotic animals are carries of zoonotic diseases such as Herpes B, MonkeyPox

and Salmonella's, all of which are communicable to humans. (3). The public risk factor was also a significant

fact alone with the supporting detail according to CDC 52 people reported being bitten by macaque monkeys

(2).

  It seems at tad bit selfish to keep these animals they have to live under your rules when they are born to be

wild not born to be domesticated. What if someone domesticated you bas an human being you know what

we call that enslavement and guess what its illegal. So what gives us a right to take these beautiful exotic

animals out of there normal environment where they behave instinctively and make ourselves there owners .

And then use corporal punishment when they attack bite lunge or challenge our sense of control when that is

what they are born to do not live under us and out stipulations of what they must be , we must stop this

travesty .
