However, some take it a little a far and branch out beyond common domesticated pets. The wildlife society has been around for a very long time, yet a common dispute that has always been present is, how to preserve the different type of species.

In the ‘first paragraph of Slater`s article she states``… people say it’s not only dangerous to bring captive-bred wildlife into the suburbs, but it’s cruel and it ought to be criminal too``. (1) Slater is in the favor of leaving the wild life to the animals without any intervention of humankind.

Fox example, the state of Ohio used to have no ban on animals until an incident occurred in 2011 where, moments before dying a man released his wild collection of animals upon the neighborhood.

What Is The Last Meow Persuasive Essay

Animals are great and make our lives better but when they are suffering and all we can do is extend their pain for a few months and pay thousands of dollars it just isn’t worth it. Americans nowadays spend money on tons of things that aren’t worth it, but spending thousands of dollars on dying animals is ridiculous. Furthermore, people even treat their animals as family like for example “Eighty-Three Percent refer to themselves to as their parents pet’s mom or dad” (The Last Meow). As a former pet owner I can say that it is ridiculous how people consider animals as their family and use that to justify spending thousands of dollars to keep them for a few months longer.

As a member of the board of “American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals” (ASPCA), I shall provide a comprehensive view of the problem and propose a law that will benefit all parties. Yes, I agree that these animals can be dangerous, but as a part of the state, we should also respect people’s freedom of choice. I am not suggesting to ban all ownership of exotic animals.
