Okay
my dad saw some videos related to this
and i really really need to rant about this
Dear Dumb People Of This Earth,
Wild animals, such as pumas, cougars, and bears are not pets. I repeat, wild animals are not pets. They are not, and never have been pets. I sincerely don't understand how you can possibly think having a puma or a cougar as a pet is the same thing as owning a domestic cat as a pet. They are absolutely not the same thing. Sure, they're technically both cats. But the main difference is that a cougar is only tame for so long. Once it gets tired of you, or you do something it doesn't like, it probably will rebel and attack its owner. And, for a cat its size, it probably will either kill you, or injure you badly. And it's even worse if you have a bear. Bears are a whole different scenario. No kind of bear has ever been domesticated to live in people's homes, not unlike wolves. The domesticated species of wolves are more commonly known as dogs, so it's not as bad if you keep a pet wolf than if you keep a pet bear. Mother bears will literally rip out your throat if you even come close to their cubs. They are extremely protective about their young, and what happens if for some reason you adopt a mother bear who is pregnant, and she gives birth in your house? What are you going to do then? Huh? Or, what if you need to move and the apartment you are moving to doesn't allow animals? You can't bring your pet cougar or puma or bear there. But you also cannot just dump your pet in the wild. There is a reason we call invasive species invasive. If they are not native to the area you live in, just releasing your pet into the wild can have disastrous consequences. Please, if you are considering adopting a pet puma, cougar, bear, or other wild animal, DON'T. They will be better off in the wild then they will with you. That is, if we, the even more stupid and dumb human population of Earth actually do something about climate change instead of sitting around and lecturing others on how bad it is and what we should do about it. Don't just sit around and talk about it, do it. And yeah, I basically did just call myself stupid and dumb. And technically we all are. No-one is doing anything about climate change. We're all just sitting around and talking about how bad and terrible it is, what it's doing to the animals, but are we actually doing anything? NO. We need to stand up, and say, "I'm going to do this," and then actually do it.
Thanks for reading all of this,
Izzy
