while my logic i knows it's impossible, highly dangerous to the eco system, dangerous to humans, and dangerous to animals

can we just go and domesticate all the animals please? 🥺 i want to snuggle with squirrels and give hugs to red pandas, maybe even ride a bear a little, give them all pats and the best treats

I'd like domesticated maned wolves, please.

Also, I don't think it's impossible, just time consuming. I think domesticating non-mammals is much harder.

I don't want to domesticate the animals - it's cruel because we can barely keep the ones we have mentally healthy

I just want animal friends. I don't need to own them, they don't need to live with me, but I want them to come visit for pets and the occasional treat

And I could do it too... I'm very good at getting the trust of animals. You just have to establish a common language and show yourself to be trustworthy over time. But that requires being able to live somewhere with a healthy ecosystem...
