How do you tame a wild animal?

Answer 1

YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO TAME ANY WILD ANIMAL.

Leave that to professionals. You cannot truly "tame" any wild animal. Exotic animals you see in the circus or movies are bred from captivity, and trained by professionals. Some people think that if they make bonds with these dangerous animals, that they will become docile and friendly. However it has been proven through experience and scientific study, that you cannot tame a wild animal. No matter how much time you may spend with them, and how much of a bond you make, they are sill wild, and will revert to their natural and aggressive instincts in a matter of seconds.

Dogs and cats and some other species have been bred down and manipulated for hundreds of years, and that's why we can have them as pets. And even then they can still be very unpredictable in their behavior.

For example: I have the sweetest black lab I've ever met, and even she has acted out in aggression unexpectedly, when she felt threatened. It was late one evening and a UPS delivery man was bringing up a package through my yard, and she was startled and attacked him. (No real damage was done) but it was worrisome to think that we might have had to put down a loving sweet dog, just because she bit a stranger. And if your domesticated pets can feel threatened enough to attack someone, you better believe that a wild animal would attack you if it felt threatened.
