Should Exotic Pets be Banned?

I think so.

It depends on what you mean by "exotic" and where said exotic animal comes from.

Exotic pets are pets that are not domesticated. Example: cat & dog = domesticated; Spitting Cobra = exotic.

Yes, they are more dangerous then other pets. they are often rare things to begin with, and if they are not at that time they will probably be in the near future.

Not to mention that a lot of time people end up throwing the things away when they become older because they can't handle them anymore, also the living enviremont for the animals ussually sucks.

Snakes are exotic. Lizards, amphibians also.

Why should they be banned? There's no reason.

Some can be reasonable.. but having a pet lion or tiger is just ridiculous unless you're like a millionaire who has the means to keep it even when it is full grown.

I dont think people should be allowed to keep anything from the Mesozoic Era as a pet

It all depends on where the animals comes from and what environment and climate it has been exposed to. However,I think some people will go a little overboard when it comes to having exotic animals as pets......

He said pets...not animals...

What is wrong with you?

I, myself would like to have an bear as an pet. I would ride to school with it.

Some should be, others are okay. Smaller snakes and lizards are fine, as well as some birds... Another issue is that there's a fairly substantial black market for various endangered birds and reptiles. Odd as it may seem, the pet trade has a not insignificant impact on said endangered birds and reptiles. Several species of parrots, especially.

Sorry couldnt resist 😮‍💨

No, Not at all. I think that as long as the owner is responsible enough to care for the pet and make sure it does not get out that it is fine. Btw I have 2 pythons, 1 Boa, 2 turtles, and a tortoise.

Well I don't know this person "Exotic Pets" personaly...but I guess if he did something wrong he should get banned.....ask a mod aboot that.

The point is that many people are irresponsible and DON'T care for their pets.

Exotic animals can be domesticated, tropical fish are considered exotic and there is no reason why they don't make suitable pets (exceptions apply, of course),

A fish and a snake are two very different things. Most tropical fish that people keep are relatively small, and don't require anything but clean water and food. It's hard to abuse a fish.

I wouldn't be so bold there Revaniser, I know plenty of people who beat their fish, man.
