Compromise




Welfare of animals: Each organization cares for the welfare and health of the animal that is being owned.  Sometimes, however, the health of the animal suffers because there is not a large source of veterinarians that are equipped to handle certain exotic animals.  To compromise, those who own exotic animals need to find a qualified veterinarian beforehand and make sure to follow the guidelines they put out regarding the animal.  This way those who have an exotic pet can properly care for it, and those who are against the ownership can at least have peace of mind that the animal is being cared for.

Safety: Safety is a big issue for those who are against owning an exotic animal.  Those who do own them claim they are very safe, which may not be true 100% of the time.  There are more attacks caused by exotic animals than caused by domesticated animals every year.  The only compromise to this issue is to ban ownership of known dangerous exotic animals.  There are plenty of exotic animals that are not dangerous and can provide happiness to their owners.  Although those people who own large cats and other dangerous animals will not be happy, there is no equal compromise for this issue. 

Fairness:  There are issues regarding the fairness of laws concerning exotic animals from those who are for the ownership of them.  They don’t think it is the governments place to tell someone what type of animal they can and can’t have.  Those organizations that are against the ownership of exotic animals are for these laws.  A compromise for this issue would be to re-evaluate these laws and possibly change any that are overstepping the boundaries of what the government should be able to control or not.
