Should Exotic Animals Be Kept in Our Homes?

Every word or phrase we know can be changed, like how we always fight on what the U.S Constitution really means and what the founders really meant when they wrote the Bill of Rights. Humans make everything controversial. It's just opinions on what we think it really means, is there fact to anything anymore? What is an exotix animal really? In the dictionary the definition for exotic says of foreign origin or character; not native; introduced from abroad, but not fully naturalized or acclimatized. So does that mean dogs are exotix because they came from diffrent countries?

 

I believe it's safer for animals to be in the wild or in a zoo but we shouldn't keep  exotic untrainable animals in our homes. Some people may say “ So if there trainable it's fine to keep them in homes?” No it's not always true every animal has the risk or being dangerous but throughout human existence we’ve grown  with “Tests” and “Challenges” seeing what animals have been safe to have as household pets like a dog or a cat. People want to keep a wild animal at home because they look cute and adorable but really they could attack you at any moment. You might want to get the new animal a celebrity has, but animals always have their instincts to stay alive and you can never know what they're going to do. 


We could release them all into the wild to live and roam free. It’s good that they are free to make there own choices and not be confined but it’s also not safe for us humans if they find there way into a town and start to hurt people. They could also start to overpopulate and start taking over our land that we use for farming or places we get other resources to survive.  


It's not safe for exotic animals to live in our homes. Even though we don't really know how to define what a extoic animal is we have assumed what it means through years of living on earth.
