Should We Keep Exotic Animals as Pets?

Explore the ethics and risks of owning wild animals in modern homes and the impact of this growing social media trend.

Exotic animals like monkeys, parrots, and reptiles are becoming increasingly popular as pets, often featured in viral videos and social media posts. While these animals may seem fascinating and unique, they usually have complex needs that are difficult to meet in a typical household. Many require special diets, large enclosures, and constant stimulation to stay healthy—needs that are often overlooked by casual owners. In addition to the challenges of proper care, there are also ethical concerns. The exotic pet trade can contribute to illegal wildlife trafficking and the decline of certain species in the wild. Even animals bred in captivity may suffer in environments that don't match their natural habitat. This raises an important debate about the responsibilities of pet ownership and the line between fascination and exploitation.
