What compromises might be made? In her article Lauren Slater talks about how although
many owners of exotic animals end up giving them away a few well trained owners are able to
keep them with little to no difficulty. Which means should a person who is properly licensed and
train with a specific animal want to own sed animal then they should be able to. Illinois state law
also goes on to state that No person shall..... maintain in his possession any dangerous animal
except at a properly maintained zoological park, federally licensed exhibit, circus, scientific or
educational institution, research laboratory, veterinary hospital or animal refuge in an escapeproof enclosure. (ILL. REV STAT, ch. 720, para. 585/1) If someone wanted to go through the
many hours of training in order to earn a license to own an exotic animal then let them do it.
