                                Keeping wild animals as pets

Nowadays many of us have pets, such as a cat, a dog, a tortoise or a hamster. However, some people think it is cool to keep wild animals as pets. It is not even about exotic birds or rare monkeys — it can be tigers, lions or snakes. Why do people choose to have wild animals as pets?  Is it really a cool idea?

On the one hand, wild animals kept as pets are interesting to watch and study. Besides, in the forest or deserts many species are in danger, since they may die due to bad weather or lack of food.

On the other hand, wild animals are used to living in their natural environment, and if we take them from there, it will be stressful for them to get used to a new place. Moreover, they need to move a lot, and our flats and houses are not spacious enough. Finally, wild animals are often very dangerous and can pass diseases to people.

As we see, there are both pros and cons to keeping wild animals as pets. It is  good that people try to protect wild animals, but we must not forget that it is more comfortable for wild animals to live in their natural habitat than at our homes. Therefore, in my opinion we should not keep wild animals as pets.
