| Message | It is already regulated. I fail to see why only zoos should have the right, respectable citizens who will treat the animals well should also have the right. |

| Message | However much you check a person, their mental state and their resources, you can never really know whether they are prepared for dealing with animals. When the animal in question is part of an endangered or just exotic species, you cannot take that risk. |
