Are exotic pets dangerous?
Yes. While baby lions or monkeys may be very cute and lovable pets, their owners’ safety is at risk once the animals grow older and stronger, . Many adult exotics become destructive, unpredictable and physically dangerous. Because these animals are deprived of their most basic needs, they become stressed and agitated, causing them to lash out. Thousands of people have been attacked and seriously injured by exotic pets. Some of the attacks are fatal, and children have too often been the victims.
