Can Wild Animals be Domesticated?

Hello to all hive users 🤗❤️🙏
Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life🙂

You must have noticed that most people are fond of keeping pets, and they keep at least one pet in their homes, and many even keep more than one. Dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, and many other types of animals are kept as pets. Besides this, I've also observed in many places that people have started keeping dangerous animals as pets. Wealthy people, in particular, have started keeping dangerous animals like lions, tigers, crocodiles, and wolves. While it's true that they have enough money to afford the care and upkeep of these animals, from another perspective, this can be quite dangerous. Firstly, there's a risk to their own safety as well as the safety of society, and secondly, it disrupts the natural balance. If we talk about the difference between domestic animals and wild animals, there's a significant difference between the two.

Domestic animals like dogs, cats, and horses have lived with humans for many years and have adapted themselves to our environment; they are not very dangerous and easily mingle with humans. On the other hand, wild animals have a very different nature and temperament. They are meant to live in the wild and prefer their natural habitat. Wild animals cannot mingle with humans because their nature is very different from ours. Those who keep these animals should consider whether this is truly right for the animals, even if they can afford to buy and care for them. I say this because you should try putting yourself in the animals' shoes. If you were left in the jungle for a few days, would you be able to survive? You wouldn't be able to adjust to the environment there, and the same is true for the animals. The environment they need to survive is found only in the wild, and keeping them as pets disrupts the natural balance.

If a private individual is allowed to keep wild animals, it can lead to several problems. The biggest problem could be the trafficking of these wild animals' body parts, as many wild animals possess valuable parts like hides or tusks that fetch high prices. This could lead to people exploiting the situation and engaging in illegal trafficking. Another danger is that even if permission is granted and someone keeps a wild animal, it poses a significant risk to that person and those living nearby. Wild animals can attack humans, especially if they are left unrestrained. If, due to negligence, a wild animal escapes its enclosure, it could attack numerous people and cause considerable harm.

In my opinion, permission should not be granted because it could pose a threat to society, which is not good for anyone. They should be kept in an environment that suits them, and they don't need anyone to take care of them; they can take care of themselves. They are accustomed to living in the forest and prefer that kind of environment. Interfering with nature can sometimes lead to very serious consequences, which is absolutely not right. And even now, so much interference is being done with nature, and we are already seeing many of its negative consequences. The natural system that has been established should never be disrupted, and it's best to avoid interfering with nature as much as possible.

People should not indulge in hobbies like taming or keeping wild animals as pets; instead, they should respect their lives. Just as you have your own home, these animals also have their homes, and they prefer and thrive in their natural environment. Whenever someone has such thoughts, they should put themselves in the animals' shoes and imagine how difficult it would be to be taken from their home and confined elsewhere. This perspective will surely change their mind. One of the biggest misconceptions of some humans is that they consider themselves superior and believe they are the most intelligent beings in this ecosystem, thus deeming themselves supreme. However, this is not true. We are all products of nature, and so are all other creatures. Therefore, we shouldn't consider ourselves so superior and should respect all living beings. Only then will society become a little better.
