User:Dennis the mennis
Hello I'm Dennis the mennis I've studied animal welfare at college since 2016. I admire and respect all life and I enjoy interacting with animals as well as reading their body language, in other words I believe in the welfare of all animals. As a wikipedian I help to correct articles that have errors and issues. During my holiday in France a new fact popped into my head it said there's no such thing as a good pet and a bad pet there are only good owners and bad owners. Animals should only be judged by their temperament which determines how they're brought up and treated by their owners. In my opinion, domestic and wild animals aren't that different from each other because they both retain natural instincts for example a dog bite isn't that different from a wolf bite, another example sheep, goats and camels come into rut just like deer do in the wild, both horses and donkeys can be unpredictable just like zebras can. Both domestic pigs and wild boars can be aggressive towards humans due to sows protecting their offspring and boars in the mating season. No animal can be 100% trusted no matter if its domestic or non domestic even a well trained dog can't be completely trusted with small children. I do also like drawing animals on pieces of paper and sometimes color them, I draw speech bubbles on my drawings in order to create a story and a scenario. My theory is that dingoes were once domesticated by the early aboriginals who brought them to Australia to be used for hunting kangaroos and emus, when they invented the boomerang it was a much more effective weapon then the dingo so it replaced them and the hunter gatherers released their dingoes into the wild to fend for themselves. The Greenlandic Inuits originally domesticated Greenland wolves as sled dogs, guard dogs and as pets but now there are none in captivity. I believe that both zoos and safari parks should not keep domestic animals such as camels, llamas, alpacas, Heck horses, domestic water buffaloes, gayals, Highland cattle, Heck cattle, Hungarian grey cattle, yaks, Ankole cattle and Ankole-Watusi cattle because these animals don't play a role in conservation they only play a important role in agriculture, both zoos and safari parks should only keep wild animals that play a vital role in conservation. These domestic animals should only be kept on farms, ranches and petting zoos. Dingoes, New Guinea singing dogs, European mouflons and the kri-kri are considered to be feral therefore should not be kept in zoos but they can be kept as pets or on farms and ranches. I am diagnosed with autism but its mild.
Domestication of urban wildlife
[edit]Due to their adaptations to live alongside humans some urban species and subspecies are slowly becoming domesticated after being handfed by humans as well as becoming accustomed and habituated towards them which includes the Arctic fox, red fox, gray fox, European badger, European hedgehog, spotted hyena, American black bear, cinnamon bear, Alaska moose, Rocky Mountain elk, white-tailed deer, mule deer, fallow deer, sika deer, Indian rhinoceros, nilgai, Nubian ibex, bighorn sheep, wild boar, collared peccary, coyote, eastern spotted skunk, striped skunk, raccoon, Virginia opossum, black rat, Indian palm squirrel, eastern gray squirrel, groundhog, eastern cottontail rabbit, eastern grey kangaroo, common ringtail possum, common brushtail possum, northern brushtail possum, emu, Canada goose, greylag goose, black swan, trumpeter swan, whooper swan, mute swan, sulphur-crested cockatoo, gang-gang cockatoo, Indian rose-ringed parakeet, red-masked parakeet, rainbow lorikeet, Australian king parrot, crimson rosella, laughing kookaburra, bald eagle, Cape skink and green iguana, These events take place in England, Nepal, India, the United States, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Japan, Australia, Poland, Israel, Canada, Norway and South Africa.
Potential domestication of other animals
[edit]Other animals such as the Arctic wolf, island fox, quokka, alpine marmot, Desmarest's hutia and the Aldabra giant tortoise don't thrive in a urban environment but they seem to be potential candidates for domestication due to their lack of fear of humans. Other animals such as the warthog make their home in villages and campsites and losing their natural fear of humans after been handfed, this is another wild pig species that is slowly becoming domesticated. In Glen Etive the Scottish red deer is slowly becoming domesticated after being handfed & becoming accustomed to humans. The western grey kangaroo on Kangaroo Island is a ideal candidate for domestication because of its lack of fear of humans. The common eider is another ideal candidate for domestication due to its tameable nature and it could be farmed for its eggs and feathers although the meat is said to taste tough and fishy.
Domestic animal attacks on humans
[edit]People have been attacked, bitten, mauled, hit, gored and killed by certain domestic animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, cattle, gayals, camels, llamas, alpacas, pigs, yaks, zebu, rams, goats, reindeer and water buffaloes, This is usually a result of rabies, animal cruelty, territoriality, mating season and mothers defending their offspring. horses, ponies and donkeys don't attack people but they can bite, strike, trample and kick people which can turn fatal especially by larger breeds.
Feral descendants
[edit]Dingoes, kri-kris and European mouflons are all in fact descendants of domestic ancestors. Here are the images in my wikitable.
| subspecies | origin | image |
|---|---|---|
| Dingo
(Canis lupus dingo) |

introduced to Australia |
|
| Kri-kri
(Capra hircus cretica) |
Crete | 
|
| European mouflon
(Ovis aries musimon) |

Dangerous pets
[edit]Dogs aren't the only pets to be put down after attacking, mauling and killing people, it should be other pets that should be euthanized not to be sent to zoos after injuring and killing people including their owners such as lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cougars, bears, wolves, dingoes and crocodiles.

Exotic pets
[edit]These animals have been bred and kept as exotic pets due to their size, appearances and variable colors. They are commonly kept in homes, large estates, private collections and on farms and ranches. Some of them are undemanding, easy to care for and require low maintenance and others require high maintenance. With captive breeding of exotic pets becoming more prevalent, less wild animals are being taken from the wild. The keeping of exotic pets symbolized the wealth and the rich especially amongst royalties and the nobility which dates back to Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt. Some of these exotic pets are dangerous and can only be owned by experienced and knowledgeable owners. Some indigenous tribes do keep certain exotic animals as pets.
