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.
Yeah, I think that’s a fair point. I personally wouldn’t encourage people to keep big, complex animals like primates in a home. My post is more about exotic pets that can realistically live a happy life in captivity when cared for properly.
