Owning Wild Animals: Stats on Exotic Pets (Infographic) | Lions, Tigers & Bears | Dangers of Owning Exotic Animals | Captive Wildlife Regulations. The escape of 50 exotic animals near Zanesville, Ohio, last month brought into the spotlight the complex issues, as well as dangers, of keeping wild animals as domestic pets.
The incident happened Tuesday (Oct. 18) when resident Terry Thompson set loose his menagerie of lions, tigers, bears, monkeys and other animals from their cages before committing suicide. Authorities had little choice but to shoot and kill nearly 50 of the untamed animals before they injured people. And apparently Ohio is one state that doesn't regulate or restrict keeping wildlife captive. In addition to state-by-state variability in captive wildlife regulation in general, an exemption in the Captive-Bred Wildlife Registration Program currently allows people in the United States to own so-called generic tigers; these are tigers that can't be identified as being from one of the known subsecies (Bengal, Sumatran, Siberian/Amur or Indochinese).

Considering how popular shows like Law & Order are, I’m sure this infographic will entertain the majority of you readers.
