Wild animals as pets?

People love having pets of all kinds, but lately, there are several stories in the news dangers of keeping exotic animals as pets. Some people think the danger of disease, attack, and fled beyond the pleasure to learn about wild animals by domesticating them. Do you think individuals should be allowed to own wild animals such as chimpanzees, tigers, exotic reptiles and the like?

No, because most of your animals talking does not make good pets, and because most of them come from the Endangered spieces OR THREATENED. Tiger is one of the most endangered animals on the planet now, by some estimates, there are fewer than 200 of them left in the wild in India and Southeast Asia. Several subspecies are extinct in the wild, and many others seriously threatened. Chimpanzees are aggressive, and they will attack and bite people when threatened-and what is worse is that they carry and transmit many diseases, including AIDS / HIV, rabies, herpes, and hepatitis. That's HOW TO START AIDS pandemic, really. HIV in the first animal virus when it first appeared-that is endemic in the chimpanzee population of the nation of Cameroon, in west Africa. Virus makes leap to people when the Bushmen and the tribal areas to kill chimpanzees and blood and meat are consumed as food, thus infecting himself with the virus. They become victims of the world's first known AIDS, but before they died, they infected their wives with this disease, and they also spread around by following the trade routes to the large cities of Africa. After the population of infected cities (and the usual route of transmission is through sex trade workers, for example, prostitutes), it's just a matter of time before various visitors from places such as Europe, Asia, and North and South America jumped on a plane and spread the virus around the world. AIDS was not identified here in the U.S. until 1981, when it first appeared in the homosexual population in San Francisco. Because this group was the first to get affected by this disease, most people consider AIDS is a gay disease in the first place. Only later, after much research, that it is finally proven that AIDS is transmitted through ALL kinds of sexual contact, not just anal sex, and it also blood borne pathogens. Is there anyone who does not come with the idea of killing chimpanzees for food, and try to tame them and make pets of them instead leave them in the wild, probably at least some of the tragedy associated with AIDS might have been avoided. This is a virus that has killed 25 million people around the world, and It is estimated that up to 40 million more are infected with it and expected to die within the next decade, or at least by 2025. So think about it when you talk with someone who says they want to save the chimpanzee as a pet. Chimpanzees, tigers and other animals like they belong in the WILD, not in the backyard of the people. Enough said.
