Can you imagine yourself having a wild animal as a pet? It sounds exciting, but is it right to keep one at home?

There are certain advantages to keeping wild animals as pets. Firstly, some animals such as snakes, spiders or hedgehogs are really interesting. Our friends can be shocked and excited when they see these animals. Secondly, we can observe the reaction of these animals, for example how they react when they look at other animals. We can learn about their habitats and food.

On the other hand, there are certain drawbacks to keeping animals as pets. First of all, most of them are really dangerous. We are not able to foresee their reaction towards other people. They can attack somebody and they are able to hurt and even to kill a man. Also, it is not natural to keep wild animals in small places or cages so they can become unhappy and aggressive. It is really hard to separate the wild animals from each other because they got accustomed to living in groups.

To sum up, there are strong arguments both for and against keeping wild animals as pets at home. Although most owners try to create the best conditions to protect animals, I believe that people should leave animals in the wild and protect them from danger in their natural homes. Besides, people should stop hunting to raise numbers of endangered animals.
