Wolves and leopards after years led to domesticating and having dogs and cats. So what big animal would you want domesticated or in a not wild/small package etc? IMO a bear seems interesting. :-)

I think wild animals should stay in the wild. We have domesticated enough already, just let them be who they are for once! :x

I'd stay away from primates unless I can have more than one (they get psychological issues if they're kept alone). I wish for something small like a marmoset. A fox would be cool too, or a maned wolf, or a hyena.

i think we should mutate scorpions to make them grow to monstrous sizes, & then domesticate them and hope that they don't one day turn on us all 8O .

because that would just be awesome to have a few of those buggers around the house scaring the s**t out of the kids and creating a new breed of nightmarish fear in small children the world over :P .

"son be good or you'll be spending the night in the scorpion enclosure"
"that's right, i said the scorpion 'enclosure'. Forget making them little houses like dogs & other furry animals, this mother effer needs an f*****g ENCLOSURE :o "

good point, we domesticated dogs, cows, etc. where some entire species are to the point where they can't even survive without us anymore. It's sad. Although i hear house cats are another story, apparently if we turned them loose, they'd be more than fine, they'd multiply & prosper to the point of becoming almost a living plague upon this earth. Just take into consideration how easily stray cats survive in suburban, rural, & even urban areas! Now just imagine how many there are already in the world right now, how many babies they have at a time & how often, & HOW MANY MORE OF THEM THERE'D BE IN EVEN LESS THAN A YEAR IF WE WEREN'T THERE TO SPAY & NEUTER THEM AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE GOT. :o :o :o
