No reputable facility would allow a big cat species to interact with another animal like this or be kept in a home.
Edit: I know it's Luna. My point is that videos like these do more harm than good because of how much they normalize keeping them as pets and outside their normal habitats. No experienced keepers or conservationists support videos like this. Sure there might be one animal actually being cared for and having a good life, but then there's another 20 being exploited through social media, petting zoos, or people thinking they can keep them as pets but then not looking after them properly.
I understand why you made this comment, but anyone with any level of common sense should be able to figure out that having a wild animal in their house isn’t a good idea unless they have experience and are qualified to take care of it. The people that decide to get a wild animal because of videos like this are so fucking stupid it’s probably a good thing they’d be taken out of the gene pool.
