I personally think there are multiple angles that you can approach this idea from, but the two main ones are from a hobbyist and the other is from someone who does not understand the culture behind it....

I get what Kameron is saying about captive-bred animals, but I still struggle with the idea of keeping primates or big cats. Even if they’re cared for perfectly, they’re wild animals with instincts that can’t fully be met in a home environment. A snake or fish? Sure. A tiger in a backyard? Not so much.
