Does Using Animals As Entertainment Violate Their Rights

People should not be allowed to keep exotic animals as pets. In the next few paragraphs, I will explain why I feel this is true.

In most places owning a dog or cat is second nature, but what about a tiger, bear or maybe python? Exotic pet ownership is far from having a clear right or wrong answer but it is in need of a ban for both the protection of animal and owner.For exotic pet owners, owning a wild beast insures a sense of power and uniqueness. It is also their way of contributing to the conservation of a species by having a “backup population” once human population growth and habitat destruction has resulted in extinction (Slater 113). But in reality the ownership of wild animals as pets only helps to damage already fragile ecosystems, both the one from which they came from and the new one in which they find themselves. Animals in captivity are also stripped of a natural life in the wild, free of confinement and unsuitable care. Finally, the risk to humans is very large, injuries inflicted from exotic pets are dangerous and possibly deadly. Bans vary from state to state, ranging from no ban to partial ban to complete ban, but even in states with full bans, exotic pet ownership still occurs. Private ownership of an exotic animal as a pet should be banned in the US, due to disruptions in ecosystems, the dangers that wild animals are exposed too, and the risks to the owners of these pets.

Although it may be different and fun to own an exotic animal, they require special care that most people just cannot provide. Many supporters claim they are just like other pets, but they require care that is very difficult to provide. This includes, a special diet, housing, and maintenance. These standards cannot be met by an average person, so Instead of trying to meet these animals needs, owners use cruel methods to make them more “pet like,” and domesticated. These methods include bleak or lifeless enclosures, and even chaining and beating. It’s thought people can domesticate these animals but that’s not the case. This would take several years of breeding. The problems go even further after this. Animals also often have things like claw and tooth removal, which are extremely painful. If a person cannot take care of the animal they turn to zoos, however zoos cannot take care of all the exotic pets handed over to

There are many exotic animals all over the world that live in the wild. There are many species and some are extinct. Exotic animals are very expensive that require more than what people realize. These animals belong in their natural habitats. It is wrong and cruel for the animals that have to live in captivity when they are meant to live in the wild. Taking exotic animals out of the wild disrupts the natural food chain and negatively affects natural selection.

Have ever wondered why hawaii doesn't have animals like in the zoo? Hawaii has an exotic pet law and they don’t have any predators to keep the chain normal on hawaii Private ownership of captive wild animals, commonly referred to as “exotic pets,” has increased significantly over the last few years. There have been hundreds, if not thousands of incidents in which these pets have escaped, attacked, spread diseases, or been abused

The United States has many laws against owning exotic animals, yet people do it anyway. It’s said to be a multi-billion dollar industry second in line to the distribution of drugs and weapons on the black market. The amount of money in the United States alone made is fifteen billion dollars. With the help of the internet and trade magazines it makes it easier for breeders and dealers to get business. Millions of animals are forced into exotic animal trades because of the government and their laws against it. People wouldn’t act so poorly to the animals if the government allowed some exotic animals to be attained.

To start, exotic animals could get very sick and die from fatality in captivity. According to the article “Get the Facts: The Danger of Keeping Exotic Pets,” “When in the hands of private individuals the animals suffer due to poor care.” This is significant because it shows how cruel and dangerous it is to

First of all not many accidents happen from exotic animals. Only 3.25 people die to exotic animals animals a year when about 125 people die of car accidents a year. Also if the exotic animal is caged and welfare has been taken care of why not let people have them.

Without the right attention and care needed for such animals it can sometimes drive owners to find quick solutions people are underestimating the potential risks of owning an out of the extraordinary, exotic, species.

As stated in the passage Ban Ownership of Exotic Pets “Soon owners find themselves… Unable to satisfy the needs for space and nutrition”. And although it’s a very fair point, it really only applies to the ignorant people looking to own an exotic pet without having the resources to take care of them. If need be, put an income requirement for people looking to obtain a license to own an exotic pet, if it’s a true desire of theirs to own a pet then they need to use their capabilities to reach the required income to obtain a license. These pets can be expensive, but they shouldn’t be restricted from us as free-willed

Can you imagine seeing a black panther walking right in front of you right now? If that did happen you would probably be afraid for your life, or others’ lives around you. If there were no animal bans on exotics that could have happened, but it could have been an even more dangerous exotic animal. I have been doing tons of research about this topic for a few weeks now and think, bans on exotic animal is a good thing because if there wasn’t we could have serious public safety issues due to the exotics being dangerous and a health risk (diseases).

Exotic animals should be banned from being purchased, hunted, and or traded from their natural habitat. People can look at an exotic animal for a couple minutes, but captivity affects their whole life. Exotic animals caged in non-natural habitats can experience many physical, and mental issues.
