    Yeah, of course. No matter how rich I was, I’d never keep one as a pet. I’ve seen people keep servals and similar as household pets, and it always really annoys me. Not only does it deprive the animal of their natural environment, and more often than not, companionship, when something inevitably goes wrong, the animal’s going to cop it.

    Thankfully it does seem that these days it’s moved from “the wild animal tore some dude abducted from the wild tore a dudes arm off! Let’s kill it!!” To more of a release or rehome into a safe environment situation, but it still can’t be a good situation for the animal itself. That gorilla that crazy lady in America kept really solidified that in my mind.

    I did actually see a video of a cheetah meowing in my rabbit hole of adorability, too. It was so cute, and not what I was expecting at all

    All that said, when I brought planet zoo, I was gushing over how cute the hippos were as well. Oh, and I think chickens are cute. And goats. And sheep. And kangaroos. Maybe I’m just a defective unit
