15. How about just regulating it?

I am opposed to prohibitions in general.

I don't believe that just anyone should be permitted to keep a DANGEROUS animal as a pet, without some kind of vetting. They should have to prove that they have facilities to secure the animal, are knowledgable in how to care for it, and have the financial resources to give it proper food and care.

People should not have pets that are best left in the wild.

I agree in general, but there are always some animals that have been born in captivity, rescued after being injured or orphaned, etc. and are not necessarily capable of surviving in the wild.
