What are experts opinion on not having exotic animals?
I'm no expert but owning an exotic animal can be dangerous to you, AND the animal itself. For instance if you're owning a tiger, sure they're cute when they're little but what happens when it grows up to be 300 pounds? You would have to take it to a special vet more often that you would a dog or a cat. Also when you were sleeping, maybe you forgot to feed the tiger. It could easily overtake you in your sleep. Like I said before, I'm no expert by any means but in my opinion you shouldn't own an exotic animal unless you have precisely the proper care/habitat for it.

Why should exotic pets be outlawed?
I do beleive that exotic pets should be outlawed. Owning an exotic pet is much different than owning a domesticated pet, such as a dog or cat. Exotic pets require much more special care than other pets. They need special diets, enough space and excercise, around-the-clock attention, and different things to stimulate them so they don't get bored. Most people cannot provide all of this for an exotic pet. As a result, the animal is usually poorly cared for causing them to get sick or bored, which in many cases leads the animals to develop unhealthy or destructive habits. Also, exotic pets can be dangerous. A monkey may look cute and cuddly, but they can also be quite viscous. Take for example the incident in which Paris Hilton supposedly was clawed at and bit on the face by her pet monkey, Baby Luv, while shopping for lingerie. Some exotic pets lash out and hurt their owners, who in return, sell them, dump them off somewhere, or even kill them. Exotic pets are wild animals. They should be outlawed unless the owner is an expert and knows what he or she is doing and, even in that case, I would say it's only right to own an exotic animal if the animal is sick, injured, or orphaned and needs to be nursed back to health by that person. Except for in these rare cases, exotic pets need to be kept in their natural habitat in order to have a more healthy and happy life.
