No, just chimpanzees. I own a couple of exotic pets that were bread in captivity that are no danger.

[@ar4203]

Ya the term "exotic" pet is such a vague& often misused term that I don't know that statement is not accurate or if it's just that no one uses the term exotic pet accurately so it's meaningless... like I keep praying mantids and the hobby often gets lumped into the "exotic" pet keeping hobby in general even though they're not actually "pets" as technically they aren't even "animals" since theyre orarods, and either way like the other comment said there is no harm no danger...people also often call it an exotic pet when you own literally any reptile including the kind of lizards or snakes that are so pet-friendly that they legit sell them in store at PetSmart lol, pretty much anything that's not dog, cat, or maybe sometimes bunny, is apparently exotic enough according to some standards to warrent use of the term, oh and fish, well certain kinds, others are for sure actually exotic

[@andrewclark7559]

Okay to be fair, not all exotic pets. For instance everything foreign is exotic and my friend takes good care of her ball python. But there is a difference between someone owning a gecko or something and someone who owns a chimpanzee, tiger, or something like that. Maybe a law that says you can't own anything that's on the IUCN Red List?

[@CaliKiwi-]

Totally!! It should be illegal!!

What’s scary is that chimps are so closely related to us, they know which region of the human body is the most imporant to us (fingers, face, genitals) so they will bite them off first, they’re way stronger than us in terms of grip and bite force and considering how incredibly brutal and aggressive they are it makes them absolutely terrifying.

The chimp that ate the lady's face off that shim was bred by Connie Casey in Festus Missouri and currently she has signed The Chimps over to her meth and friend who lives in a camper on the property her name is Tanya Haddix and for the second time in federal court she has been found in contempt because she refuses to give the chimps to a sanctuary like the original court order said she would have to do if she did not meet the requirements that court order had put in place for her to be able to keep some of the chimps.

This isn’t the first time a “pet” chimp has attacked someone close to the owner. Even Jane Goodall says chimps should not be pets. When would people learn? I edited this because people oddly accentuate the “owner” part even if the point here is large-sized wild animals pose life-threatening danger to humans around. Yes some dogs can grow immensely huge but if you’ve never worked with non-human primates (which I assume is all of you here who ask “do you own a dog?”) you have no idea how strong they are: chimps have muscles that are 67% fast-twitch fibers, which makes them 1.5 times stronger than humans. In fact the strength chimps possess is termed “super strength”. So when they pin you down you are doomed to be torn apart. Can you visually tell how different a chimp’s body build is from that of even the strongest dog? How their upper body is heavily muscular?

Although I cannot fathom why anyone would desire to own a pet chimp, and I certainly don't condone ownership of such an animal, either, I still feel compelled to commend this woman on her clarity, and composure, throughout an event that would have, absolutely, led many to act irrationally, emotionally, and with uncertainty. This woman had to feel, that after 17 years of ownership, both, the chimp, and her daughter, alike, were two of her most cherished, and beloved family members. To have to face a situation, that would arise unexpectedly, and present her with the potential of losing, not just one, but both of these individuals, had to, simultaneously, be shocking, terrifying, infuriating, confusing, heartbreaking, challenging, and indescribably overwhelming. With that said, I can appreciate her bravery, focus, strength, and ability to, essentially, take the reigns, of what would have been an, otherwise, chaotic, and dangerous scene, for law enforcement, neighbors, and bystanders, and I admire her, for the ways in which she calmly, and clearly took the authority to instruct/direct the course of people's actions; doing so, from an extremely clear-minded, confident, and efficient perspective. She was incredibly direct about the circumstances, and she reacted in what, I believe, to have been the most effective, possible manner, for dealing with such a strange, yet serious incident, of such profound magnitude. Despite her emotions, likely, threatening to interfere with her decision making capabilities, and ultimate, course of action, she managed to remain very alert, aware, in control, rational, thoughtful, and cooperative. Of course, like I've already mentioned, I truly can't condone, one, owning a chimp, and consequentially, risking potential disaster, but for someone who has, regardlessly, found herself face to face, with such an experience, I feel she did a wonderful job of handling the profundity of this physical, mental, and emotional burden, while maintaining substantial poise, maturity, intellect, and responsibility. People will, hopefully, have the ability to transmute the negativity of this situation, into that of a positive opportunity for awareness and expansion, by allowing themselves to learn and grow, as a result of revelations made through the circumstances at hand. By recognizing that this tragic event could have been prevented, by, simply, refraining from attempting to keep a wild animal, as a household pet, hopefully people will be inclined to make wiser choices, in the future.
