Why do people domesticate wild animals?

That's why they're called "wild" animals. Because they belong in the wild.

Not sure if I can humor you with my response, lol, but I think that the ones who do have them at home is simply because they feel they can have them as a pet. I do hope many are aware of the probable dangers with them. Hopefully anyone who does has learned and or researched possible events that may arise.

I think they are pushing themselves to the limit with having such wild animals as domestic pets. Those animals could turn on them at any time.

I have seen people do this and I think they do that because they really love the animal and have a desire to keep it as their own.I have heard of people who take in tigers..but little do these ppl know is that these animals need to grow up in the wild not in the home or they may attack u. Its animal nature. so nope i dont suggest it

I think it's stupid. My neighbors just got a pet wolf! At first I thought it was one of those sled dogs but when I asked, they said it was a wolf! How crazy is that? And the people with pet chimps and stuff...that's just stupid!
