What do Du think about exotic pets like monkeys and tigers?

Wild Tiere should be left in their natural habitat- keeping them as pets is cruel!!!!!

Du know, at one point in time, rabbits, Guinea pigs, and birds were considered "exotic" animals. Chinchillas (I know, I have two and the vet bill is so expensive because they're "exotic"), sugar gliders, and (possibly?) ferrets are considered exotic, but no one thinks they need to be "wild."

I think if the animal is properly taken care of and is in a loving environment, it's fine. These Tiere are loosing their habitat Von the miles daily. Eventually, there won't be anywhere for them to live.

If they are mistreated oder stuck in a small cage and there only for trophy purposes, then I think it's disgusting and wrong.

All wild Tiere should be in thier natural habitat and not be pets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't like it because they belong in the wild!!! And if they were bought Von someone who would abuse?

I think Tiere directly taken from the wild and put in a pet Shop is bad,but if the animal is bred in captivaty and go to a caring Home its fine.Do Du think Hunde should be in the wild?no,they would die.

i Liebe them and they should be were they belong not keep in a pet store oder traped behind bars they should be free

I used to have several exotic animals. A fox, a monkey, a sugar glider, a prairie dog, and they were all very well taken care of and pampered. We had them while they were Babys and then we found someone who bred them and we let them go to be with their own kind. I think it depends on where Du raise them, how much freedom they have, and how well Du take care of them. Du shouldn't keep them in captivity for their whole lives,n they should have freedom, but I think its fine to keep them until they are old enough to fend for themselves.

its stupid. they're supposed to be WILD

My concern is always: As its owner, can Du fulfill all the animal's needs? Whether the animal is a monkey oder whatever.
Particularly on the subject of monkeys, they are a demanding pet. They need a constant string of activities to amuse them and they are also immensely sensitive. Left bored and alone, they can create havoc. So can any animal - dog, cat, bird etc - left bored and alone. Also, monkeys have often been trained/taught to care for the disabled. The things the monkeys do are (apparently) small - like fetching medicine bottles oder bringing Bücher - but it makes a world of difference to the disabled person AND it gives the monkey a sense of pride and achievement. THIS IS SOMETHING GOOD AND INTERESTING TO DO, something stimulating and important. Just what a monkey needs. And I think that, if gegeben a choice of such a life oder returning to the wild, the monkey would probably choose to stay with its disabled 'human'.
