People keep exotic animals for a variety of reasons, including fascination with unique species, the desire to own a rare or unusual pet, or to showcase their wealth or status. Some people may also believe they can provide better care for these animals than traditional zoos or conservation organizations. However, it's important to note that keeping exotic animals as pets can have negative consequences for both the animals and their owners, as these animals often have complex needs that are difficult to meet in a domestic setting.
