Re: Damn you, Japan

[(Anonymous)]

this x 100. Wild animals are not pets, period.

Re: Damn you, Japan

[(Anonymous)]

They are heading for extinction if they are kept wild though. Their habitat is basically gone, so pet or extinct. You choose.

Re: Damn you, Japan

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, no. Setting it up like there are only two options is kind of funny, but still wildly illogical. Why not let people keep pet cheetahs or rhinos, by that reasoning? Just because something is small and fuzzy and cute doesn't mean it'll make a great pet.

Re: Damn you, Japan

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be down with both of those. Obviously a Rhino would be more an rural pet than an urban one, but the day I can run my pet cheetah around Central Park will be a day worth living for.

Re: Damn you, Japan

I can see where that would be fun for you, so long as the cheetah didn't give in to its natural prey instinct maul anyone (or anyone's pet), but it sounds like a pretty awful life for the cheetah.

Re: Damn you, Japan

nayrt but it's not just potential mauling why wild animals, especially wild cats, are 100% a bad idea for a pet. Though, for the record, they do maul, and bite, and spit, and suddenly get aggressive. (hell, my housecat will randomly get a bit aggressive when he's in a bad mood, and he's only 12 pounds. I do not trust a ten-times-bigger version of him, and he's domesticated)

Wild cats will also pee on and spray everything. Destroy furniture. Require extremely expensive whole prey meat diets. Attack neighbor pets. And if they ever get loose, likely get shot and killed.

Wild cats are horrible pets, and the larger industry for pet tigers, lions, etc. is extremely corrupt. These "pets" are often abandoned by owners when they're not young and cute anymore, and they realize how destructive, dangerous, and expensive they are. And what is really gross is how it's legal to have a pet tiger, etc. in so many states in the US. Seriously messed up.

Domesticating wild animals does NOT save them from extinction. Domestic pets are specifically bred for traits, colors, and personalities that are incompatible with successfully living in the wild. Especially in the case of small animals, this can often mean they are deliberately inbred to keep certain traits. You are not preserving the species at all by doing this, you are muddling their genes and turning them into something else. Either way, if the animal does not have a sustained wild population, they are considered extinct.

And say you capture an actual wild animal. It's going to be a shitty pet, because it's wild. Wild animals should never under any circumstances be "pets".

So reservations/sanctuaries/zoo breeding programs aren't an option for you...?
