Imagine wanting not a puppy, but a tiger for your birthday, imagine the expenses of that tiger and the dangers and hazards of owning that tiger. Do you really think it’s a good idea to get that tiger? No, it’s not. It’s a lot of work, and it’s also very dangerous. Exotic animals are not good to buy and have. If you buy that cute tiger, it will eventually grow up and not be so cute, it will be dangerous and strong, it’s also a wild animal and it’s very unpredictable, also there are many diseases you can catch from that tiger, and there are many dangers of having that tiger as well. (Long sentence) That cute baby tiger of yours will grow up. Your tiger cub will grow up to be very big and dangerous. The quote states “Most people who own exotic That wild animal of yours is unpredictable and not domesticated. The quote states “Exotic animals are wild animals with wild animal instincts, even when born in captivity. A wild animal is never 100 percent predictable. An animal that has behaved one way for many years cannot suddenly change. Domestication is not something that happens in one or two generations: it takes hundreds or thousands of years” (Lewis). Exotic animals are unpredictable and undomesticated. The definition of domesticated is an animal that is tamed and kept as a pet or on a farm, a tiger ,however, does not fit that definition because it is not tamed, it is a wild animal. So think again before you buy that tiger. Also, don’t forget about the dangers and diseases of that However, even though it is rare, it still happens and you can’t predict when it will attack. The quote claims “Exotic animals are wild animals with wild animal instincts, even when born in captivity. A wild animal is never 100 percent predictable. An animal that has behaved one way for many years cannot suddenly change. Domestication is not something that happens in one or two generations: it takes hundreds or thousands of years” (Lewis). So even though it is rare for them to attack, doesn’t mean it could happen with your exotic animal. Also, you need a lot of money and space to take care of that exotic animal that you probably don’t
Exotic pets threaten the safety of the community for they pose potential risks of injury and fatality. Natural animal instincts and lack of proper care can trigger destructive behaviours of animals, injuring their owners or other community members. There has been a total of 543 human injuries and 75 deaths as a result of exotic pets, including 52 year old woman killed by a Bengali tiger (http://channel.nat......). These numbers illustrate the risk that exotic animals pose to owners and community members. Keith Gisser, an exotic reptile owner claims he's “not the kind of animal owner neighbours need to worry about”, yet Brian Johnson Gisser's neighbour says on of the reptile owner's snakes escaped into his backyard (www.wkyc.com....). Injury and fatalities are a risk, endangering the community when exotic animals are kept as pets which is yet another reason why owning them should be illegal.
So, sharks do hurt people. However, shark attacks are very unlikely due to the lack of harmful sharks, the fact that they can be tamed, and the actual number of people that get killed by sharks each year. Sharks are not the vicious creatures people make them out to
In my Savanna biome, the tigers will survive by eating deer, wild pigs, water buffalo, antelope, monkey, Zebra, and Emu. Because tigers are solitary animals they are able to hunt and kill prey for its survival alone. Tigers do not run in a pack to support themselves. The tigers in my Savanna will have one kill every nine days during the dry season. Which means their prey will be large enough to provide up to 40 of meat in one sitting. This allows my Tigers the option to not need to migrate if at all
Have you ever decided to go to one specific zoo just because you totally loved one formidable animal in that zoo? Well, that’s what happened to me when I went to a zoo. I saw this lion and totally loved it. When they’re born they mark their territory by urinating on it. When they get a bit bigger they learn from their parent how to hunt by watching them do it. They also learn how to communicate with their parents when they misbehave they receive a slap from their parents. Some lions are lucky by being left in the wild and some are obliged to go in zoos and being in confinement. When they’re born they eat small things but when they grow up they can even kill and
The adult tigers suffer from abuse causing them to pace back and forth and to have self mutilation because their natural needs are not met. The temple also keeps their tigers captive. They spend most of their lives confined to barren concrete cells and chained to a small cage for several hours a day given no shade. When the tigers are allowed out, it is only because of the money. When the tigers refuse to cooperate the monks will beat the
After reading Wild Animals Aren’t Pets and Let People Own Exotic Animals, the question that asks, should exotic animals be considered pets is finally answered. Exotic animals should not be considered pets. These animals if not kept right are too dangerous to be a pet of anyone, on the other hand people believe the animals are not dangerous if kept with responsible private ownerships, and finally people aren’t only the ones getting hurt, the animals are too.
Not only the animals being owned but all the other animals in the wild, 19 species are predicted to go extinct by 2023, 8 of them is because of people owning exotic pets. Exotic pets are dieing because they are escaping from their cages and being killed by authorities. They are also dieing because they are committing suicide on themselves, this can happen when the animal gets so stressed of their daily life in a cage, there has been cases when animals hit themselves on the head using their cages wall. People buying exotic animals are not only affecting the animal (Pet) but are also affecting other animals in the wild. The food chains are collapsing, if an animal eats the animal that are barely in the wild because of people using them as exotic pets that wild animal might die because of the lack of food and and so on, therefore depopulating ecosystems. In the end this is a serious matter of animals going endangered and extinct that needs a
A safari in southern Botswana is home to a warm sun. It radiates onto broad elephants that soak their hides in the Khwai River. These same elephants compete with the large, speckled giraffes for high-hanging leaves while chacma baboons lumber through the native trees. Lions’ canter, lope and shake their manes as another day passes in the African safari. These animals know no fence. They are unfamiliar with the morning routine of being fed through a wire cage or giving birth while surrounded by cameras and people prodding at them. So these exotic animals, why are they being bred into wanna-be domestic creatures? The fact of the matter is that they shouldn’t be. Exotic animals, such as chimpanzees and tigers, should not be kept as pets. In order to combat the patchwork laws currently in place, we must uncover the truth behind the ownership of wild animals, the dangers of owning said animals, and why we must take a stand.
Having an exotic pet is not a relatively new idea. The idea to have an exotic animal has been around since the Mesopotamia was thriving around 3000 BC, and these pets were a symbol that the owner was of royalty or relatively rich (McNie). Owning an exotic animal made a person relatively famous among the population that was not as fortunate to have one. This supremacy of owning an exotic animal has prospered throughout the centuries gaining popularity, especially during the 1960s in England where anyone that was able to have an exotic animal became favored among movie stars and the general population (Bourke and Rendall 22). Nowadays people owning exotic animals cherish their time with them while providing the animal with a proper habitat and diet. Toby a tiger that is now under the care of the National Tiger Sanctuary was loved and cared for by a private home for most of his life along with many other ...

Having exotic animals as pets is immoral and dangerous. They endanger the community, become sick, and their owners abandon them. Each State in the USA has a different law against exotic animals; multiple allow exotic pets, some allow restriction, and few do not permit exotic pets. Even if keeping an exotic animal is illegal, some one will go against the law to have what he or she wants. You may think ‘i can take good care of an animal. It will be better off with me,’ but it won't. Every country should have and exotic animal ban and realize the hurt one is causing to these poor
The Siberian tiger is a solitary animal, preferring to travel and hunt alone or with a small pack. This animal lives in mountainous regions and heavily forested areas.
Jhabvala refers to India as an animal four times in the essay. We first come across it when she is describing India “...but there is no point in making a catalogue of the horrors with which one lives, on which one lives, as on the back of an animal “. She uses it as a metaphor. When we think of animals we often have this image of wild and dangerous creatures and as we know in the animal world only the strong survive. This is something that she references to trough tout the essay when she is talking about the hardships which the Indians have to endure throughout their lives “from birth to death they never for one day cease to suffer from hunger “. It could also refer to the fact that animals are inferior to humans and that she sees India as inferior to the western countries. If we would have to choose what animal India is based on Jhabvala's feelings, the natural choice would be a tiger, because the Bengalese tiger is the national animal of India.
