Eli5: Why can’t you make a pet out of a wolf, a bear or a lion?
In: Biology
I volunteer at a rescue that has wolves, bears, tigers, and lots of other animals that were pets until their owners realized what an awful decision they had made. Now a bunch of other people have to work and pay the costs for those stupid pet owners.
Those animals need many acres of space for each very expensive enclosure, plus various water features (bears and tigers are required to have swimming space), plus vet facilities, plus daily feed, plus enrichment tools.
