# ALTERNATIVE NAME 1: Statement 1 - Keeping a wild animal as a pet, even if it has been bred in captivity, is not a good idea. The animal will not be happy in an environment that is not its natural habitat, and it is not fair on the animal to keep it in an environment that is not suited to its needs. The animal will not be able to live a full and happy life, and will not be able to live as it should. It is also unfair on the owner of the animal, who will have to put in a lot of work to ensure the animal is cared for properly, and may not be able to provide the animal with everything it needs. It is also possible that the animal may become dangerous to be around, and this is not fair on the owner.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - It is never okay to keep a wild animal as a pet. They should live in the wild, and even if an animal has been bred in captivity, their instincts will still be to live in the wild, in an area they can hunt, breed, explore and roam in a way that allows them to be wild animals. It is cruel to take a wild animal out of its natural habitat, no matter what the reasons. The benefits for keeping a wild animal as a pet are minimal and the animal will be unhappy and in an unnatural state. It's better to look at the animals in their natural habitat than to take them out of that habitat to keep as pets.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - Keeping a wild animal as a pet is never okay. No matter how much the animal has been bred in captivity, it is still a wild animal and should be treated as such. The animal's lifestyle should be as close to it's natural state as possible. It should have space to roam and hunt and do all the things it should do in the wild.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - It is not okay to keep a wild animal as a pet. If it is to be kept as a pet, it should be raised in an environment that is as close to its natural habitat as possible, with ample space to roam and hunt.
