Why can't people have wild animals for pets?

Answer 1

Wild animals shouldn't be kept as pets because they're wild animals. You may look at the animal as a pet but the animal might look at their situation as caged or cornered and might react aggressively, no matter how well you treat them.

AnswerIn some states, it is against the law, unless you are a wildlife rehabilitator or some other kind of wildlife refuge. On top of that, wild animals are just that and are unpredictable and can be dangerous. AnswerBecause a wild pet is wild and there not really trained so at any moment if the animal feels like it is being threatened it will attack who ever they see and also if the animal has rabies and it bits you you will end up getting it to.

Examples of what not to mess with-any of the big cats, chimps, & boas. Two of these are obvious. Chimps are cute, but surprisingly strong if they turn on you. In recent news a woman literally had her face ripped off by one if you search the story. It was a pet.
Wild animals shouldn't be pets because they were not domesticated yet. Wolves and Coyotes were domesticated into dogs. Bobcats and cougars were domesticated into cats.
