One eyed, One horned flying Purple people eater!

I am sitting here wondering if we’ll EVER learn, WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT!!! PETS! Over the last few months and years we’ve heard news reports about people being mauled by “Pets” or even zoo animals, and while it’s sad and shocking I can’t fault the animals. I feel badly for the animals because their usually the ones who end up getting beaten or shot dead for being what they are.

This post is brought on be a news report I watched about a woman being mauled by a chimpanzee, who of course was shot dead in the end. The footage I saw was of an animal wearing a diaper and a leash.  I felt this was just so wrong – we may think we’re doing the animal a favor but seriously are we? I don’t think so. I think if you’re naive enough to believe that a wild animal can be tamed enough to be brought into your home and live as a pet then you pretty much are asking for trouble.  If that animal attacks you – I’m not saying you deserve it but don’t be surprised and don’t expect to get my sympathies.

Here are a few of the animals I have hear of attacking their “owners” or people in general – a polar bear in a zoo – the woman went beyond 2 fences and was mauled – the bear was beaten with sticks to try to let the woman go –  a woman was killed by a “pet” snake this snake was a boa constrictor, and illegal. This woman I just mentioned above with the chimpanzee and lastly perhaps the most famous mauling was of the tiger mauling of Siegfried and Roy’s, Roy Horn.

Well yes they may be cute as cubs or babies or whatever  remember they are wild animals wit natural instincts and should NOT be taken in as pets – and while yes there are likely many instances that we don’t hear about wild animals mauling their owners but let’s learn from others mistakes because it could only be a matter of time.
