      I don’t. While I would like to own some lovely exotic pets, like a parrot, I feel it is best to allow these animals to live their lives free, in their natural environment. Animals are probably much happier if they are free. Also, sometimes the pet trade can cause animals to become very rare and, in some cases, become extinct. For example, lots of parrots have become very rare and face becoming extinct because of the pet trade. I think the best exotic pets are ones that you know come from established breeding programmes and are not under threat of becoming extinct in the wild. Do you have any?
