i disagree,

  • Animals belong in the wild for their natural purpose
  • Animals belong in the wild and it is not right keeping them locked up in a house if you are gone out of the house.
  • Why do you think we call them "animals"?
  • If it is for breeding purposes and to save animals from extinction, it would be OK. But, not so that people can goggle at them in their cages.
  • Animals should be running free! Freedom of choice! If they were locked in cages all day with just a ball thrown at them, it would get pretty boring. Stress-related diseases and other infections can start from being locked up everyday, waiting for their "owner" to come home with just a nod or a grunt in their general direction!
  • Animals are taken away from their natural environments and caged, even if that cage is a house
  • keeping animals in a cage just because they are 'cute' is just like keeping someone in a prison because he has a nice beard.

What is the difference between wild animals and pets?

Wild animals are animals that live in their natural habitats and have not been domesticated by humans.

What are pets for?

A pet (or companion animal) is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or protection, as opposed to working animals, sport animals, livestock, and laboratory animals, which are kept primarily for performance, agricultural value, or research. The most popular pets are noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities. Pets commonly provide their owners (or guardians) physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can supply both the human and pet with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals, mostly dogs, that are brought to visit confined humans. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive, and emotional goals with patients. The most popular pets are likely dogs and cats, but people also keep house rabbits; rodents such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, fancy rats, and guinea pigs; avian pets, such as canaries, parakeets, and parrots; reptile pets, such as turtles, lizards and snakes; aquatic pets, such as tropical fish and frogs; and arthropod pets, such as tarantulas and hermit crabs.
