>Google if animal is a good pet>Results say soem shit like "No it's a wild animal and does not make a good." And so on and so on>Videos I see online with people keekping the animals as pets say otherwiseI'm convinced theirs just some kind of scheme going on here. I get that the average person probably can't keep most animals as pets but if you put in the effort there's no reason it shouldn't be possible. Of course excluding money and ludicrous animals like Gorillas, Chimps and lions.
>>4891775You do have a point. Of course there are differences in temperament between species as well as among individual animals within species, but if it weren't possible to train or domesticate wild animals then we wouldn't have dogs, cats, pigs, ferrets, cows, goats, or horses. The main differences between them and many non-domesticated species is that there often weren't many practical uses for the latter. For example, most seals or sea lions probably have the temperament to be domesticated since they take well to humans and can be trained, but there wasn't any obvious practical use for domesticated seals or sea lions so it never happened.
by normie standards, a dog smart enough to breathe without being told to is a bad pet, and the only thing keeping cats around is the ability to abandon them when they get hard to care for.
>>4891775>"No it's a wild animal and does not make a good."I've felt like this is to prevent interest as to not encourage the illegal pet trade. Also yeah, the average person shouldn't have a dog let alone an otter or owl
>>4891838Both these things are spot on
>>4891775I like it.
>>4891775I've also looked into otters and here's what I vaguely remember:otters mark their territory by patting crap with their tails on the perimeterthey need a bigger pond for recreationthey socialize with humans only somewhat harder than your average household animal, but way less if you get several of themthey have stink glands that can be removed the same way as with ferretsyou'll have a very hard time finding a vet that can do more than antibiotics and dewormer
>>4891865>>4891775Little known: sea otters don't stink or mark their territory with crap like other otter species do. Even their poop is odorless. They do, however, eat a lot - about 25% of their body weight every day - and they have to be fed fresh seafood. Zoos/aquariums that keep them have to spend over $20,000 per sea otter each year on their food alone.OTOH, look how cute and trainable they are:https://youtu.be/W4_IJv2zuvQ?si=Lt-hJ8iV9gy3ltZY&t=81
The issue with having wild animals as house pets is that they can get very temperamental.Everything is fine for a year, two years, maybe ten. Then bam, it just randomly decides to sperg out and now you're severely injured.This is less common with domesticated animals, but still happens with them too.
>>4891874Remember this South African guy who got killed by his pet hippo he adopted when it was a calf.
>>4891775>I'm convinced theirs just some kind of scheme going on hereYou’re absolutely correct. “Exotic pets can’t be kept ethically” and “Exotic animals aren’t pets” blah blah are retarded statements that make no sense, and it makes these same people mald endlessly to see people post content that disproves their claims. This is why they’re trying to ban exotic pet videos from social media. They claim it’s to “stop animal abuse”, but really it’s because they don’t want people to realize exotic animals like otters, owls, and foxes are surprisingly commonly kept pets, because the narrative they’ve had an iron grip on that “only experts and licensed facilities can care for X animal” starts to crumble.
>>4891890Hippos are the pitbulls of semi aquatic mammals
>>4891935It's the naturalistic fallacy along with a healthy dose of "anything thats fun is bad" and generic hippie nature worship>their life in the wild is natural, so it must be better than HUMAN ENSLAVEMENT!>their life in the wild: brutalized by conspecifics for eating out of turn, brutalized by other species for being on the wrong side of the piss line to too close to the food they've claimed, parasitized, sickened, and eaten alive by crows as they lay dying assuming a larger animal doesn't finish them off slightly faster (nothing, and i mean nothing, in nature makes sure its prey is dead - the legendary "honorable killers" that are big cats will settle for paralysis or sufficient injury to induce shock)>their human enslavement: literally given whatever they ask for at the cost of being stuck in some sort of enclosure for 6 hours when people aren't home
>>4891953>implying crocodiles are fantastic pets
The first step to becoming an exotic pet owner is ignoring everyone's advice and warnings

>>4891868The otter in that video is more well-behaved than most pets at the vet
>>4891935>>4891960Not being a tree hugger doesn't change the fact that foxes want to use everything they see as their bathroom
>>4891868If I were a billionaire I would build sea otter sanctuaries in every city and increase their range to include the Atlantic coast
>>4891775You should need a license to own a pet, even a cat or dog.
>>4891890Not only this, but pet raccoons hurt people a lot. Pet otters are actually really dangerous.About only wild animal you're pretty safe from is an opossum, but they only live like 3 years.
>we should let retards have any kind of animal they wantVery interesting idea OP, really gotta think about that.
>>4892441OP admits that the average person isn't competent enough to own most animals, but why prevent those who have the knowledge and resources to properly care for them?
>>4891966They're indispensable aides if you're a true sicko with literal skeletons in your closet.
the people with videos keeping them as pets are making money, they don't want to make it seem like theyre doing something stupid and irresponsible
>>4893511people who have knowledge and resources can and do care for them. you can already have exotic animals, if you put in the effort. that's to say, prove you have enough suitable space and are competent to do so. most pet owners do not fall into this category, arguably even when it comes your normal household animals.
>>4891966This pet crocodile never attacked or killed the man who saved and cared for him. just sayin:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg2YAnEiLSs
>>4893511>but why prevent those who have the knowledge and resources to properly care for them?and who's going to be the judge of that?
>>4894154what's missing from that is him sufficiently feeding the croc before every performance so that he has a full belly and it enters energy-saving mode
>>4894179>If the animal was hungry it would've eaten you!Guess what a sufficiently hungry human would do lmoa
>>4893511People who have the knowledge and skills to care for those animals work in conservation and don't care about owning them as toys.
>>4895126>You're only good enough to own a Peruvian Blue-tailed Virgin-snapping Minnow-trout if you're willing to work a highly competitive minimum wage jobGenuine joke. You don't need a college education to take care of an animal, sorry.

>>4891935The retarded attitude that exotic pets are just cooler versions of normal pets and nobody wants you to know it, is what leads to shit like the Everglades overflowing with foreign species that fuck over the natives. When braindead morons think that they know better than everyone else and get an exotic pet, 9 times out of 10 they realize after a while that it destroying their house with claws and waste, eating lots of expensive food, being very difficult to train, and generally having more wild behaviors than they want is too much for them. Then they either kill the thing, abandon it somewhere, or send it to an already overwhelmed sanctuary/shelter. This also directly attributes to the progress towards extinction in the wild for these species, many of which are endangered. You and everyone else who wants an exotic animal are almost certainly just selfish idiots who don't think these things through.
>>4899431This doesn't apply to reptilechads. We actually know proper husbandry and take care of our exotic pets just as well as professionals do.
>>4899526Then where did the Everglades pythons and iguanas come from, Anon? Are you telling me their entire populations descended from a handful that escaped during hurricanes?
>>4899588>>4899431Are you retarded? Most of the "invasive" species aren't actually invasive, if I got outside and find a bearded dragon at my local park that doesn't mean it's invasive and for some reason the nigger brained FWC don't understand that and call anything they find out in the wild invasive even Ball Pythons, bearded dragons and leopard geckos. Actually you know what they do know what Invasive is they just use it the wrong definition of it because retards like you gobble it up. Most of the Burmese pythons came from a zoo, the iguanas were imported with goods. Have you seen a baby Iguana? Their the size of a large gecko and live in foliage. If you bring over fruit and wood you're gonna get a few stragglers. They literally live a few miles over in the ocean too in the same climate. No shit their gonna be fine in Florida. Most of the invasive species in Florida are from companies importing thousands of tons of plants, fruit and other things filled with native wildlife. Yes people do release exotic pets, no they shouldn't do this. But to act like the everglades are pet keeps fault is such a leap in logic you'd need to be below mentally retarded.
>>4899737You can cope all you want, I'm not reading all that shit. You know for a fact that shit tons of retards out there who thought of themselves as 'exotic reptile keepers' have picked up a juvenile retic or gator or something because it's badass, and then when it gets fuckhuge they immediately look for a way to make it not their problem anymore. The fact that you sperg'd out so hard tells me that you are somehow taking this personally, and just cannot mentally accept that some fucking brainlets will attempt to get into your niche hobby and fuck things up just like they do for every other niche hobby.
>>4891775the average person is a retard that never before took care of even just a plant and couldn't deal with a domesticated animal like a Labradoodle but thinks that would be so fucking cool try (because they can just give up anyways, right?) taking care of a wild animal.

>>4907951yes they do
>>4899526remove yourself from life
>>4891775You answered yourself, average person can't take care of a dog properly and those were bred for thousands of years to be better pets than wolves. They absolutely should not be considering an otter.
>>4891775There's been a concerted effort to minimize humanity's attempts at domestication over the last... 50? 100? years. Not sure why, I don't think there's much to it as far as conspiracies go, but there's absolutely no reason why our domestication has been bottlenecked as we expand instead of becoming more granular.
>>4901480>Many people have kept pet chimps without it biting off their faceAnd many people have kept pet chimps until it bit off their faces.
>>4891775You're judging based off of social media, lmao. Try to do some critical thinking. In general, I agree that a lot of animals don't make good pets, and it's not just a good/bad owner issue. However I'm not in favor of government overregulating it; they do not have the resources allocated to put forth good standards nor enforce them, so we have blanket bans on a lot of shit that doesn't need banning (and likely vice versa), and SUPER irregular application of the law.
>>4909407I think virtually all endemic and non-threatened birds are suitable as pets. Like, I can have a canary but it's illegal to keep a chaffinch? Suuure. And if you can keep a macaw you should definitely be able to keep a jackdaw.
>>4891775>Google if opossums are good to keep>first displayed result says no>check source>Terminix
>>4909460I love the theory that virginia possums were domesticated by various native americans. I honestly believe it with how bumbling and unafraid they typically are of people.
>>4909460opossums have one brain cell and they aren't very active creaturesprobably a little more intensive than keeping a guinea pig really
>>4891814There's a Canadian who's training seals and otters to find missing bodies because they have better smell than dogs.
>>4909460Opossums, Crows, Racoons and such being panned for being "threats to the environment" is such a retarded reason for not allowing them to be kept at pets. There's no way we're gonna "introduce them" to an eco system they're already native to and if we captive breed (or collective the thousands of hit and run rescues) then we won't need to worry about population control. It's literally the Government feeling like they can extort power.
>>4892186Counterpoint, Armadillos are also fairly nice creatures, however, disease could be a proven, as with all wood animals. It depends on the species, but a nine-banded armadillo would be the best one overall.
>>4899807You're "not reading it" because you got btfo and have no counter. Keep spazzing bro
>>4903682You know a lot of people are killed by dogs, far more than chimps in fact. I guess owning a dog is "rolling the dice" according to you

>>4899379Trying to turn something wild that could very easily maul you to death into a pet is pure natural selection, same shit with monkeys. At least stick to stuff that won't brutally murder you, like uh capybaras
>>4915174Then explain pitbulls and dobermans.
>>4909460Possums are bad pets. They are super sweet and great to own, but only live for 3 years or so. It's too painful to keep saying goodbye so often. That's why a zoo I used to work at stopped keeping them at least.
>>4916135You can just get a new possum.
>>491517499% of exotic animals aren’t nearly as dangerous as large dogs are. The only dangerous ones are large primates, big cats, bears, etc. Meanwhile the media portrays fox and raccoon owners as owning some dangerous crazy animal. Just google recent dog attacks; people are getting torn apart piece by piece and dying every other week at this point yet nobody cares.
>>4892007I own 2 foxes. Red and arctic foxes are the ones that pee everywhere, and their owners don’t keep them indoors for this reason. I own a bat eared fox and a pale fox. They have no odor and use a litter box. They don’t destroy everything like reds do either. They are amazing pets. I

Don't listen to the nay sayers in this thread, everything can be a pet if you try hard enough
>>4891775Domestication is just a vague term for the selective breeding and removal of traits that would make an animal unable to be trained to acclimate to living with humans.Like, Tigers and bears can form bonds with humans sure, but their instincts coupled with their power results in temper tantrums with deadly results (I.E loads of stories of a Tiger owner getting another cat, then trying to get between the tiger fighting with the cat).We can train dogs to eat all the leather in the house, but we can't train that out of foxes.
>>4917305"Domestication" is not a tangible standard. It's merely the point in which mankind has artificially changed a species through artificial selection to better acclimate to living with us.Sure in dogs we breed a lot of aggression and fear instinct out of wolves, but you can't apply that to every species.We say cats are domesticated because we've pulled off some selective breeding tricks but behavior wise we've not done much of anything to them. They only circumstantially get along with humans as our faces and behavior seems to incidentally make us appear "cat like" enough to make us appear as "Cats, but super friendly and retarded" (no chemical communication and never appear to hunt for food). Our bonds with them are circumstantial and you get very much the same relationship with big cats, the only difference is your house cats occasional bitch fit has deadly consequences if you scale them up.I would not consider their instinctual modifications to be nearly that of dogs especially in how easily they become feral and can survive without us where as many domestic breeds of dogs, even when given builds akin to wolves, have been mentally castrated out of survival instincts.What I'm saying is, an animals ability to co-habitat and be "pets" has little to do with how we've selective breed them, but how well their natural instincts and behaviors compliment life with a human paired with their sensitivity to the environment.Foxes LITTERALLY just have an extreme issue being trained out of marking and eating all the leather in your house, because Vulpine are simply not as intelligent or socially oriented as wolves. You act like there aren't plenty of resources that understand Fox biology when we've breed them for fur and sport.

>>4920368>novel social behaviors wild cats do notPretty sure those are basically what a cat does when their human can openers that seemingly resemble cats but behave like apparent retards who never hunt, never get aggressive over territory and can't understand chemical signals but pay attention when you meow.That's not a result of selective breeding, that's just the circumstance of how a cat in the unusual situation of co-habitation with a human being would attempt to communicate.
>>4917389Nice beaver
ITT: People who thinks wild animals are just misunderstood dogs/catsDomesticated animals have been selectively bred to work with us, even the "barely domesticated" cats.Wild animals are still self-reliant and opportunistic by nature, which makes building and maintaining trust with them very finicky. (especially if the species is not sociable)Even worse, being comfortable with you also mean they will feel less worried of defending themselves if they feel threatened/try to scare you off, which will result in injuries or even death.

>>4923483Keked.
>>4923498Do you have any more information on this study? It seems like a lot of different factors could play into the results of that kind of research. Were the cats raised in a captive litter by a serval mother, or hand-raised by humans? Were the people they interacted with in the study total strangers, people that they were given lots of time and training becoming accustomed to, or humans who were directly involved in raising them? Were the animals spayed/neutered?
>>4923483Ah, so you just avoid the question instead. What is it about some retards that makes them think just because they can utilize their autism to handle a complicated hobby like exotic animal keeping successfully, that all regulation and caution should be waved away and the practice should be opened up to the even more retarded public? Fags ITT claim to care responsibly for exotic species, implying they actually give a shit about their wellbeing, but then they somehow go into mental gymnastics believing that there wouldn't be any consequences for those species (some of which are already directly endangered in the wild because thirdies trap them for their value in your beloved exotic trade) when every nigger is clamoring to get themselves a fox, rare reptile, or wild cat species as a status symbol?

>>4891775Professionals lie all the time do discourage destructive or stupid behavior, and you learn this pretty quick once you start actually doing things. "It's can't be done" means "yes but we dont want you to" a good 50% of the time.Example: doctors say cervical penetration of any kind is impossible, and 90% of people claiming to do it are obviously larping, but it 100% is possible. Almost any woman who has given birth can easily (and pleasurably) take a finger quite deep into her cervix, and I k w this because I regularly do it to my wife. You can even insert a finger into the womb if you try hard enough, though I don't do it because the woman can get a uterine infection aka pyometraThe real answer to your question isn't "is X a good pet?", it's "can a normie properly care for X?"
I'd rather be close friends with a wild animal, like it comes to visit my home, I give it a couple snacks and maybe it accompanies me on walks in the woods, but otherwise we just live our lives separately.
