  1. The answer above me is absolutely right. I just felt like concurring. haha


  2. The answer is D.  All of those are true.

    Exotic birds may carry diseases and parasites from their native lands that will harm whomever keeps them in captivity.  Plus, they are more likely to bite, resulting in infections.

    Tourists go to exotic places to see exotic animals.  Those animals are depleted by capturing and shipping them off, reducing tourist interest.  Plus, when folks can see the animals at home, they need not travel.

    Importing exotic birds is hard on them, taking them from their natural environment and sticking them in a cage, a traumatic experience.  Plus, they are exposed to diseases not found in their home turf.
