I think it all depends on the person. If a person knows what their doing and can take care of them how they should be then I don't really see anything against it. The problem is when a bad person or a person who doesn't know what their doing gets ahold of one of these animals. So if we wanted the right to keep such exotic pets as bears or monkeys then we would have to find a way to determine who should be able to have one and who would not. I think a license would not be good enough, unless they send an inspector to your house to make sure you are prepared and have the know-how to take care of the certain animal you may want. So maybe a license with a inspector that comes and looks to see where u will be keeping the animal and also talk to the person a bit to make sure they know what their doing. Once I get my own land and house I hope to get some certain exotics like a monkey. But I don't have the knowledge to take care of one yet nor the means to care for it so thats why I am waiting.
