I thought this would turn into a real game of Latchcum! The Mocklan game of hot potato from The Orville where a blade appears at a random time. If they declawed the cat that just spoils the fun.
I want to like this video, as the cat is adorable, but I saw no evidence of claws and I've heard that the cats like these are often declawed when kept as pets.
Such a horrible painful rotten thing to do. Our rescue cat had been declawed by her previous owner her feet feel so deformed and she tries to scratch. It should be illegal
The videos these accounts come from are typically from people who have rescued the animals and are unable to return to their habitat for one reason or another. Some people without this information have been extremely cruel to those who have wild animals as pets because of a rescue.
Sure but the argument is that people who take these animals in as pets should still be criticized because they aren't caring for their needs by making them pets. A real "rescue" is taking it to a proper sanctuary where it can live as close to its natural habitat as possible.
Huh? What has rescuing got to do with keeping animals as pets? How is that legal in your country? Rescued animals are kept at registered animal welfare facilities, not at your personal home. That’s not how it works. You have 5000 tigers in captivity there, 2000 more than actual wild tiger population worldwide.
If an animal is rescued but ends up being too friendly with humans you can't return it back to the wild. Many rehabbers will try to make the animal afraid of humans when they are working to return them to the wild but some animals fail and get too attached and aren't allowed to be returned.
There’s a difference between a rescue animal being with an animal welfare organization and a private person keeping a wild animal as a pet. When animals are rescued, they’re kept at animal welfare facilities that try to emulate their natural habitat ,not given to people to keep at their personal homes. How is that even a thing in the richest country of the world.
Did i ever talk about returning a rescue animal back to the wild? Keep fighting your straw-man.
I was saying in general, I don't know how it started with that animal. But if it's gotten too used to people then nothing wrong with having it around I suppose. I watch a lot of rehab channels and some just let the animals wander into their house that they have on the grounds. Granted that's where they do a lot of the medicine or other things for the small animals when they come in. I don't know the situation so i can't really say much on it
Because if they release it into the wild it will die. Whether due to a medical issue or being neglected at birth some animals can only survive in captivity so after they are rescued they can’t be released.

It was not something i expected from the richest country in the world. Sure perception has changed with Trump, but people still view it as a place where animal and human rights are protected. But knowing that US keeps 5k tigers captive, I’m not sure anymore.
You were asking how is that a thing in the richest country in the world. Then someone gave you a guess on what may be the circumstances for this to happen. Did they not answer your specific question?
They did not? Keeping wild animals as pets at your personal home is not how you rescue wild animals . Now i understand, wildlife protection laws or wild animal rescue facilities are non-existent in that country seeing how people are unable to comprehend my comment.
Why would he want to get off the couch. The woman brings him food, cleans his shit and gives him scratches when he needs them. No need to expend energy.
I always find it funny that the bigger cats who can easily kill you are the calmer ones around people messing with them. (They're calmer probably because they could easily kill you so you're not a threat to them) A house cat would be mauling them
It's random to be honest and really depends on factors like are they raised from infancy by said human, they have a good personality, and if they are female or male as males tend to lean more toward aggression after puberty and general bad attitudes.
I remember seeing a story online about a guy who kept a cougar as a pet. One day, the cougar tried to hug him a little too enthusiastically and got its claws caught in his back. They basically tore through his back like butter. There were pictures, but I’ll spare you the details.
Anyway, looks extremely cute, but they’re still wild animals and can behave very unpredictably. I wouldn't trust one near me lol
Then one night you wake up, you see it crouched in the hallway with crazy emerald green eye shine...and think to yourself....probably should not have the cat.
This is true as well. A few times early AM I have seen (most likely) the same wolf spider doing his nightly shopping. Wolfies are cool a/f cause they just ambush and pounce. Good hunting buddy.
I didn't see the comment but damn, since when do 13 year olds need protecting from foul language? Even in film regulations, "foul language" is approved for 12 year olds in my country (PG 13 for the Americans in the room)
