Public Comments

1. 1. they have not been domesticated 2. It is harder to replicate their food and shelter needs 3. In some/most cases it is illegal
2. 1. its cruel to keep a wild animal in a domestic enviroment, 2. you can never do better than a natural diet for a wild animals 3. its illegal in nearly all cases
3. 1. We don't know exactly what their behaviour means, we can only guess. 2. Its most often illegal. 3. They're home are often much smaller than the wild, so its cruel.
4. 1. they will destroy your house! 2. it will be dangerous ( if its like a cheetah or something like that ) 3...........ahhhh idk goodluck though!:))))))
5. 1) They never get truly tame, and remain dangerous to humans. I remember hearing a story of a guy who had a raccoon has his beloved pet for 10 years. One night, it walked into his bedroom and climbed up on the bed and started attacking his face. Lot of damage there. 2) Disease risk. There are no legal vaccines for wildlife species. There's no way to protect a wild animal pet from rabies and various other things, some of which can be transmitted to humans. So the pets aren't protected and neither are the people. 3) Not good for the animal. Most people just plain aren't qualified to raise and keep wildlife species. This leads to a variety of painful and debilitating nutritional and metabolic issues for the animal. It's frightening what some people seem to think is acceptable, and they frequently fail to recognize the limits of their own knowledge. Unfortunately, it seems to be the clueless ones who most often rush into getting a species they're utterly unqualified to deal with. This leads to disaster for all concerned.
