What wild animal would you have as a pet?

[Northstar84]

Obviously keeping wildlife as pets isn’t ethical but in a fantasy world what would you choose?

[OneViewpoint]

Honestly? None. Wild animals by definition are not domesticated. They are a pain in the ass (or dangerous) while just being themselves in captivity. My philosophy is to leave them alone to be themselves in habitats where they belong.

I'm reminded of a video posted by some woman who adopted a beaver and kept it in her house. Cute? Yeah. But the little fucker did what beavers do, he chewed up every piece of exposed wood in her house. Door frames, cabinets, stairs, furniture. Why the hell would any sane person want that? Let the beaver go be a beaver.

It is a strange characteristic of humans that we like making friends with wild animals. Out of the pictured list I'd go for the lion cause they are quite social.

All feline species appreciate we are better at ear rubs than they are themselves.

[RavVid]

Thanks for a MHO

[RandomGirl42]

Oh! If it's fantasy world I'm going with unicorn!

Living in the country we have raised a baby gray squirrel until he was old enough to go free and we often leave tidbits for the raccoons and skunks in summer and can sometimes feed them by hand if I sit really still.

[Chloe1808]

Technically all animals are wild, it's just over time a few have been domesticated to become pets , farm animals etc but even those domesticated animals can show wild tendancies

[OlderAndWiser]

A red fox might be nice, or a deer.

[snermcger]

Hello... hi... McFly...'knock knock knock'
Those aren't shown. Alright that's it.
The old lady gets the cobra.

[OlderAndWiser]

@snermcger Very "clever," but the question is"

"What wild animal would you have as a pet?" and not "which of the animals pictured below would you have as a pet?"

[AviatorTom]

I'd like a sloth. Easy to care for. They just hang upside down and do nothing.

If they try to run away, you can easily catch them by walking. hey do have a cute face.

[CherryLove007]

yes, me too
they look and act stoned fr

[Jessica405]

A lion. Look up Tornado Smith. He had a pet lion that rode pillion on the "wall of death" at the Kurzaal, Southend, UK.

[Jessica405]

Actually, I think the lion might have been in a sidecar, not pillion.

I also believe the lion was buried in the front car park of the White Hart pub in Boxford, Suffolk, UK

[Northstar84]

Your cat looks like mine haha

[Jessica405]

Our black and white lion? 🤣🤣🤣

An 8kg monster!

[snermcger]

Flamingo. It won't eat (lion, tiger, hyena), gore (buffalo, rhino), poison (cobra), trample (buffalo, giraffe, elephant, rhino) or rip my penis, fingers and face off and watch me bleed out in the Livingroom (chimp).
Plus if it gets out of hand It can just fly away or I can ring it's neck.

[emeraldsaphire]

Probably a red squirrel, I think they are really cute.

[VioletHaze]

In the spirit of hypotheticals, a cheeta. Big cuddly cats!

[Screenwriter]

An otter. A falcon or hawk. A panther. All quite interesting and beautiful animals.

[DryGermanGuy]

A mountain lion. They are the biggest cats that can purr! :-D

[Telekinetic-Potato]

It's not? I'm trying to learn how to train birds lol

[exitseven]

I would have a rhinocerous. I would put a saddle on him and ride him.

[Sal_Monella]

If I had open land and a companion for it, like a Lab Retriever, a Cheetah. Cheetahs are not known to attack humans.

[Nice222]

A red fox. We had one living on our property for awhile and it was cute. But we didn’t feed it or treat it as a pet. We kept it wild and eventually it moved on.

[Singhaeshwaryakumar]

None of them they are free animal s they should be out of reach from humans there place is in the jungle. none other place.

[Northstar84]

Did you read the whole question

[Singhaeshwaryakumar]

Yes I answer your question about which to have as per if you want to have

[Northstar84]

It was a hypothetical, not an invitation for virtue signal

[douride2]

They are called wild animals for a reason. Leave them in the wild.
