Exotic Animals Adapt As Pets

Decent Essays
Most people have head of exotic animals being kept as pets. A strong debate persists on whether exotic animals should be permitted to be kept as pets. Private citizens should be allowed to have exotic animals as pets, because animals adapt changes, they killed next to no one last year, and the vast majority of animal attacks are not from wild animals.

Frequently, animals adapt to changes, which means wild animals adapt to becoming domestic pets. The author of source 1 states, “Animals need to adapt to the changes in their environments.” (Source 1, pr.1). Another example on how animals adapt to their environment would be climate changing from hot to cold. The result would be the animal adapting to the new climate. According to the author

    People who own pets, whether they are domestic or wild animals, can be held to a strict liability standard in most states when it comes to the injury of another by their pet, whether it is harm done to another person or to another animal. Strict liability is "applicable even when a defendant is neither negligent nor has any intent of wrongdoing." It is therefore not necessary to prove that the owner had knowledge of an animal's ability to be vicious or that the owner did not take the necessary steps to prevent an attack from occurring. When it comes to domesticated animals, strict liability is imposed in some states "when the owner knows or has reason to know that the animal has vicious propensities."…

In my opinion, I am not like animals keeping in captivity for any reason because they are also living things like us.
