Why are Alligators allowed to live in the southern USA states & people are forbiden to own trained pet monkeys?

ALL wild animals have the potential to be dangerous. Humans have the MOST potential to be dangerous. By your logic we should kill every wild animal that walks the earth and ALL humans. Use you common sense please and stop making ridiculous statements. Maybe you should take a basic biology or ecology cl so that you would realize that every animal on the planet serves a purpose and fills a niche. Each it interconnected and functions as a whole. You can't start killing species without it affecting other species either directly or indirectly. Also, just because an animal does not help or benefit humans directly does not mean it does not have a purpose as far as the rest of the planet goes. Stop thinking like an egotisical selfish human..the world does not revolve around you, or me, or any human. Nature is bigger than all of us.
