This document discusses the dangers of keeping exotic pets at home. While some people are attracted to exotic pets because they are unique or a status symbol, exotic animals often become more aggressive as they mature and can carry diseases harmful to humans. The document provides examples of people who were attacked by exotic pets such as tigers, lions, and bobcats. In contrast, domesticated animals like dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds have been bred for thousands of years to peacefully coexist with humans and make safer and better pets. The conclusion is that it is very dangerous to keep exotic animals as pets and domesticated animals are a better choice.
