some people keep their animals in laboratory like seetings devoid of any and all natural stimulation. sure, the risk of illness and injury is reduced, but the fact remains that it is simply unnatural. The life of a captive animal is no doubt painfully boring, which is why many experts, zoos in particular, have begun housing animals communally and even placeing predators and prey near enough to see and smell each other. All this is done to increase the quality of life, and provide meanigful stimulation for the animal. People who segregate themselves from the world, and live in immaculate laboratory settings for risk of illness are considerd mentally ill. Why would you force that on your pet?
