I'm just saying but guys. Guys. You do realize that dogs exist because IDK how many years ago, someone saw a wolf, and decided to tame it? They knew it could be dangerous. They didn't care. The gain far outweighed the risks. A loyal companion that cares nothing for what you look like or what you do, so long as your treat it right. A guardian to defend you when you can't defend yourself, a shoulder to lean on when you're feeling down. A friend that will be with you until the day you die, living in the best protection and safety that you can offer.
We wouldn't have dogs if some ancestor however many years ago looked at a wolf, and thought to themselves, "Yes. Yes, I will train you. I will tame you. I will shelter you from pain and fear. You will be mine. And we will walk the halls of history side by side."
Parrots, falcons, eagles, finches, sparrows, cats, mice, rats, ferrets, weasels, cornsnakes, boas, dogs, foxes, chinchillas, pigs, sheeps, cows, chickens, guinea pigs, hampsters, donkeys, ducks, geese, horses, buffalo, silkmoths, pigeons, doves, yaks, camels, turkey, goldfish, beta fish, fish, rabbits, canaries, koi, hedehogs, sea monkeys and an uncountable amount of others.
If someone wants to start domesticating monkeys, as long as they're treating the animal the way it deserves, and making sure that no harm will come to it or its offspring, and ensuring it is getting the proper nutrition, then why the hell not? Someday, our grandchildren's grandchildren could e walking down the street with monkeys riding on their shoulders, or otters strolling at their side. They could be bringing pet alligators to show-and-tell, or going to the pet store to pick out their new ocelot kitten as a birthday present, or playing in the pool with their capybara.
