Wanna pet that bear. Unfunny Poster posted:http://i.imgur.com/xD2IbY7.mp4 Thank you for posting this, because this morning I saw a photo of Harlow's wire-mesh mother experiment using baby spider monkeys, and remembering what I learned about that in college almost made me cry. (Nobody google that if they don't know, it's terrible.) That cat is doing that little baby monkey a world of good.

Pretty sure I've said this before but skunks are pretty drat good pets and it's a bummer that more people don't like them. Yeah, they can spray you with stinky oil but if it does that, you're horrible and don't deserve such a cool pet. Seriously, they don't spray unless they fear for their lives and you can get them de-glaned if need be.

I got to pet one of these recently. It's exactly as plush and wonderful and soft as you think. Probably more. really. It was like memory foam dog.

I love skunks but they're illegal to keep as pets where I live, and with good reason. It's pretty much never good to try to keep wild animals as pets, even if they theoretically "make good pets," because then you have horrible trafficking and trapping and breaking up skunk families.

My brother-in-law got a seriously cute puppy (when it's not being a bitey little poo poo) and we got to dog-sit for an afternoon.   It's a Danish-Swedish Farmdog.

That's just like my Malachi. Pure black but with a little white cravat and a spot on his tummy. He even had one big toof! Unfortunately it had to be pulled a month ago so now he has no more vampire fang.

It's pretty much never good to try to keep wild animals as pets, even if they theoretically "make good pets," because then you have horrible trafficking and trapping and breaking up skunk families. I'd say that depends on the species more than anything, at least assuming the animal is native to the area(or if non native, then common in it's home region enough that the pet trade is unlikely to do much harm, or even captive bred), and not larger than your average dog Especially since depending on how you define "Wild" vs "Domesticated" you'd be including tons of animals people keep as pets with no issues whatsoever(including most non mammal pets)

Yeah we haven't even bothered to try and actually domesticate spiders, snakes, and most reptiles that are kept as pets. About the only exception to that is silkworms, and those are less pets and more production insects. If people really wanted to, a large enough controlled breeding program can turn just about any wild mammal into an obedient cuddly pet, as a Russian scientist proved back in the late 50's by domesticating silver foxes, although that program isn't quite finished yet (but they've made remarkable progress in a mere 60 years as opposed to the hundreds or even thousands it took early man to turn wolves into dogs).

SinineSiil posted:Is that still active? I recall hearing that they had to cut down the breeding program due to funding reduction but it is, in fact, still going and you can still get a silver fox. It's a bit like a Savannah Cat, a pet for if you've got outrageous amounts of money burning a hole in your pocket.

Heck some don't even need it as their demeanor are already pretty human compatible, like with Hedgehogs
