Controversial Topic – Pro



Dear Rexano,

            After doing some research on the nature of your group, I see that you are committed to supporting a person’s desire to own an exotic animal in their home.  Your organization believes that animals are personal property, and it is not the governments place to make legislation that restricts private ownership of exotic animals.  You say that exotic animals are used as therapy and assistance animals for war veterans, people that have been in accidents and senior citizens that are in nursing homes.  Your organization believes strongly in the proper care and humane treatment of exotic animals.  You say on your website that anyone owning an exotic animal should properly care for it and keep it in a clean environment that is protected from hazardous weather.  You also say that the animal needs to be provided with proper diet and fresh water at all times, and that exotic and wild animals benefit from human companionship.  These are great benefits to the animal, and need to be followed to be sure the animal has a long, healthy, and happy life.  Having an exotic animal can be a benefit to humans in a matter of happiness and joy in having a companion animal that most people do not have.  They may be able to form special bonds with their exotic animal, and this can be a truly special thing for the animal and the human as well.  I think it needs to be stressed to keep any potentially dangerous exotic animal in proper housing/caging as to not frighten those against the ownership of these exotic animals, and to raise the animal with respect and a healthy lifestyle to ensure positive behavior. 

Sincerely,
Vikki Imes
