Domestication vs. taming

[Catherine]

I would like to hear about the  Pye Dogs. I am unfamiliar with them.

I think foxes are one of those borderline animals that can be tamed and perhaps domesticated. It must make a difference how young the animal is when you get it. Also a pet fox in the country might work, but I doubt a fox would do well in a high rise.
When I think about it some species would only work as pets if we partly live in their world. Maybe we are their pet.
Wolves will live with us, but we have to be almost as wild as the wolf.  When you think of all the different dog choices, why would you need to get a wolf unless it was a rescue.

There are so many pet choices. I have never understood why people want a non pet species. It seldom works in the long run. Tigers and lions are not meant to be pets. There at lots of beautiful cats out there.

Trying to have a pet chimp or some kind of monkey is just foolish. They are strong and intelligent and they will not act like a pet when they grow up. It usually ends badly.

I think the animals that have become our pets probably came to us in the first place.
