    Here’s an idea- DON’T KEEP FUCKING WILD ANIMALS AS PETS! I don’t care if it’s half-dog, it’s still a wild animal. There’s a reason we domesticated wolves.

      saw a video recently that seemed to indicate that wolves initiated the domestication - scavenging from human’s trash & getting less wild over time.

      but yeah, dont left half-wild animals near children

        That is a leading theory, but that takes many many generations for the behaviours and instincts to change. And the wolf in question wasn’t one of those that initiated domestication.

      Ehhhhh, i dont really agree. Whats wild? Cats arent domesticated. Snakes, turtles, lizards, and birds arent domesticated either but theyre kept as pets fairly easily.

        What do you mean cats aren’t domesticated?

        The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae. Recent advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC.

          He means they don’t make baked goods, or have a cocktail waiting for you after getting home from a hard day’s work.

          They’re stupid. Don’t listen to them.

        One of the most confidently stupid things I’ve seen said on this site so far. So well done there.
