How do you feel about owning 'wild' animals such as cobras, taranchulas, alligators, and those sort of pets?

    Things like cobras that could easily pose a threat to neighbors should be outlawed. Many others pose a possible threat to the environment when they escape or are released by the owner. Those should be illegal. Some animals like great apes should not be kept as pets at all but primarily because of the threat to neighbors. It is morally wrong in the case of apes but that is just my opinion so I wouldn't make it illegal just for that reason. Great apes are all dangerous enough to neighbors that they shouldn't be allowed. Large cats are also too dangerous.
